XT103F30

The XT103F30 valve is produced by Vickers and belongs to the Pressure Control Valves series. Designed for hydraulic automation, it maintains set line pressure so cylinders and motors receive consistent force. Pilot actuation uses a low-flow control path to shift the main spool, permitting small signals to manage large volumes. Reversible action lets the same body regulate pressure when flow direction changes, which is useful in circuits that alternate extension and retraction through a single line. Use with hydraulic oil aligns the valve with standard power-unit fluids and avoids special conditioning steps. A maximum operating pressure of 3000 psi establishes the upper limit for safe service, while a 75 gpm flow rating supports medium-size pump outputs. The 1-1/4 NPT port size ties into common schedule-pipe dimensions, and the non-flange line mounting means the housing can be threaded directly into piping without an adapter.

The valve continues to perform when ambient or fluid temperatures reach +155 °F, allowing installation near heat-generating machinery without derating. Nitrile seals contain the oil under cycling pressure and resist abrasion, maintaining closure integrity over long duty periods. An overall length of 211.3 mm governs the straight-run space needed between adjacent fittings, while a 100.1 mm width clarifies the clearance required for wrench access around the body. These dimensional constraints simplify CAD layout work and give engineers a fixed envelope when assembling multi-valve banks. Combined with the previously noted mounting style, the compact form helps reduce manifold size and routing complexity in mobile or stationary equipment.
