HD – 2FRM10, 16 – 2 Way Flow Control Valve
Achieve absolute precision in your hydraulic actuator speeds with the HD 2FRM Series 2-Way Flow Control Valve. Available through THM Hydraulics, this highly engineered valve is designed to maintain a continuous, perfectly set fluid flow that remains completely independent of system pressure fluctuations and fluid temperature shifts. Capable of handling maximum operating pressures up to 315 bar and flow rates up to 160 L/min, the 2FRM series guarantees that your cylinders and motors move at the exact speed your circuit demands. Featuring advanced start-up jump reduction and optional bidirectional control when paired with a rectifier plate, this valve is the ultimate solution for high-precision industrial automation.
Core Technical Specifications;-
- Component Architecture: 2-Way Flow Control Valve (Pressure & Temperature Compensated)
- Nominal Sizes: Size 10 and Size 16
- Maximum Operating Pressure: Up to 315 bar
- Maximum Flow Capacity: Up to 160 L/min
- Actuation/Operation: Mechanical manual adjustment
- Standardization: Porting pattern to DIN 24 340 Form A, ISO 4401, and CETOP-RP 121H
Key Features & Engineering Advantages:-
- Total Flow Stability: The internal pressure compensator ensures that the flow rate remains constant even if the load on your actuator changes or if the hydraulic oil heats up and thins out during a long shift.
- Start-Up Jump Reduction: Specifically engineered to eliminate the sudden, violent lurching (jump) of hydraulic cylinders when a directional valve is first opened, ensuring a smooth, controlled start to every machine cycle.
- Bidirectional Flow Control: While inherently a 1-way flow controller, integrating the optional Z4S rectifier sandwich plate directly below the valve allows for identical, precision flow control in both directions.
- Tamper-Proof Security: Available with an optional lockable key on the adjustment knob, preventing unauthorized personnel or machine operators from altering critical feed-rate settings.
- Advanced Compensator Tuning: Features optional external closing of the pressure compensator and an optional stroke limiter, giving hydraulic engineers granular control over the valve's dynamic response.
- Subplate Mounting: Designed for standard, leak-free subplate mounting, integrating flawlessly onto standard manifold blocks.
Ideal Industry Applications:-
The unwavering speed control and 315 bar endurance make the HD 2FRM Valve the premier choice for:
- Precision Machine Tooling: Governing the exact, uniform feed rate of cutting heads on CNC lathes, milling machines, and industrial grinders to ensure flawless surface finishes.
- Heavy Lifting & Elevators: Ensuring lifting platforms and hydraulic elevators raise and lower at a smooth, constant speed regardless of how much weight is loaded on them.
- Automated Assembly Lines: Synchronizing the precise movement of robotic actuators and conveyor pushers to prevent product damage.
- Metal Pressing & Forming: Controlling the exact downward velocity of pressing platens during the critical forming phase of manufacturing.
Why Choose the HD 2FRM Series?
- Eliminate Erratic Movements: Protect your tooling, your products, and your machinery from the destructive forces of uncontrolled hydraulic lurching.
- Set It and Forget It: Thanks to the temperature and pressure compensation (plus the optional lock), once you set your optimal machine speed, it stays locked in all shift long.
- Global Mounting Standard: Adhering strictly to ISO and CETOP standards, this valve acts as a seamless, high-performance upgrade for standard manifold blocks worldwide.
