Product Overview
The HYDAC SR5E-012/16 is a precision-engineered flow control valve belonging to HYDAC’s SR series of modular sandwich valves. Designed for direct mounting between a directional control valve and its subplate in accordance with ISO 4401 / DIN 24340 (CETOP 3 / NG6) interface standards, this valve provides accurate, repeatable regulation of actuator speed by controlling the volumetric flow rate delivered to a hydraulic circuit branch. The SR5E series utilizes a pressure-compensated, two-way flow control design that maintains a constant set flow independent of load pressure fluctuations and system pressure variations, ensuring stable and consistent motion control in demanding industrial hydraulic systems. With a nominal flow capacity of 16 L/min and a size 012 spool/regulator configuration, the SR5E-012/16 is ideally suited for meter-in or meter-out speed control of cylinders and motors in high-cycle industrial machinery.
