Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HYTEC from 3G Electric.
What is the pressure rating of HYTEC pilot-operated check valves?
The HYTEC pilot-operated check valve with MPN 100915 has a steel body rated for 5,000 psi. It uses SAE-6 9/16-18 UNF inlet and outlet connections. This valve allows free flow in one direction and blocks reverse flow until a pilot pressure signal opens it. The 5,000 psi rating makes it suitable for standard industrial hydraulic circuits operating at or below that pressure. Always verify compatibility with your system's maximum working pressure and fluid type before installation.
What are the port sizes on HYTEC lever-operated directional control valves?
The HYTEC lever-operated directional control valve with MPN 9503 has 1/4 in NPT ports. It is a three-way/four-way, two-position manual valve that includes a tank port. It is not load-holding, meaning it does not lock the actuator in position when the lever is released. This valve is used to direct hydraulic fluid flow in circuits requiring manual control of a cylinder or motor. Confirm port threading and flow capacity match your circuit requirements.
What is the capacity and stroke of the HYTEC hollow plunger workholding ram?
The HYTEC hollow plunger workholding ram with MPN 351013 has a nominal capacity of 9,945 lb, a 2 in nominal stroke length, and a retracted height of 3.48 in. Its type dimension is 1.5 in. The hollow plunger design allows a rod or bolt to pass through the ram, which is useful in clamping and positioning applications where space is limited or where a through-hole is needed for fixturing. Verify mounting thread and port details against your fixture design.
Can HYTEC hydraulic valves be used in load-holding applications?
Not all HYTEC valves are designed for load-holding. The lever-operated directional control valve (MPN 9503) is explicitly not load-holding. For circuits requiring load holding, a pilot-operated check valve such as MPN 100915 is typically used to block reverse flow and hold a load until pilot pressure is applied. System design should always include appropriate load-holding valves where gravity or external forces could cause actuator movement when the directional valve is centered or neutral.
What connection types are available on HYTEC hydraulic components?
HYTEC hydraulic components in the 3G Electric catalog include NPT and SAE UNF connections. The lever-operated directional control valve uses 1/4 in NPT ports. The pilot-operated check valve uses SAE-6 9/16-18 UNF inlet and outlet connections. These are common port standards in industrial hydraulic systems, allowing integration with standard hoses, fittings, and adapters. When specifying, confirm the port type and size match your existing manifold or hose ends to avoid additional adapters.
