FG02150050

The FG02150050 flow control unit belongs to the Flow Control Valves series and is produced by Vickers for regulated hydraulic automation. It acts as a restrictor that meters oil through a precision orifice to stabilize actuator motion. Flow is set by a manual adjustment screw, allowing technicians to fine-tune circuit behaviour without electronic aids. Installation is performed on a subplate interface, so replacement or service can be carried out without disturbing pipework. Integrated pressure and temperature compensation keeps the chosen flow nearly constant as load or fluid viscosity changes. The body contains no check valve, therefore throttling occurs identically in both flow directions.

With a minimum controllable flow of 10 in³ per minute, the FG02150050 supports slow feed rates during positioning or clamping cycles, yet it can deliver up to 1500 in³ per minute when rapid movement is required. The assembly withstands operating pressures to 248 bar, equivalent to 3600 psi, enabling use on contemporary high-pressure power units. This combination of wide flow window and high pressure capability lets a single valve accommodate varied cylinder sizes in industrial lines. Accurate metering is maintained across the entire range, so system designers can specify one component for both low-speed precision stages and fast approach strokes without sacrificing stability.
