Structure, function description, section

The 4/3 directional control valve is concepted in subplate design

with position control and integrated control electronics.

Structure:
The valve consists of 3 main component groups:
• Housing (1) with main spool (2)
• Integrated electronics with inductive transducer (3) of main
stage
• Pilot control valve (4) with spool sleeve unit (5),
inductive transducer (6) and pressure return for neutral
setting of main spool (2)

Function description:
• With proportional solenoid (7,8) at rest, neutral position of main
spool (2) through centralising spring (9) and pressure return
• Control of main spool (2) via the pilot control valve (4) - the main
spool is positioned in closed loop control
• Control of spool of pilot control valve (4) through alteration of
solenoid force of proportional solenoid (7,8)
• Connection of command and actual values in the integrated
control electronics
• Pilot oil supply to pilot control valve internally via port P or
externally via port X
Pilot oil drain internally via port T or externally via Y to tank
• When command value is at 0 V the electronics moves the main
spool (2) into neutral position
Interruption of supply voltage:
• Integrated electronics switches the solenoid off when supply
voltage is interrupted or with cable break
• Independent pressure control on same level in the control
chambers (10 and 11) through the pilot control valve
• When pressure supply is interrupted centralising of main
spool by centralising spring (9) occurs
• Neutral position of main spool (2)
Warning: The interruption of supply voltage leads to abrupt
standstill of the control axis.
The accelerations occurring may cause machine
damage.
Valves with the spool symbol "V" do not align
accurately in the hydraulic neutral position!

Note: Valves are bled before delivery;
