GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This device is a torque-motor actuated, double-nozzle flapper valve that produces a differential output pressure proportional
to the applied electrical input signal. It is a single-stage, stand-alone, closed loop pressure control valve which uses internal
hydraulic pressure reactions to achieve its closed loop control characteristics. Refer to bulletin number BLN-95-9033 for more
information.
◆ The MCV116A1101 is typically used as the pilot for the Sauer-Danfoss Flow Control Servo Valve (KVF).

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS

• Single coil, coil resistance 23 Ω A B • Scale factor: 2.4 psid / mA

• Supply pressure: 300 - 600 psi, maximum 1000 psi

• Phasing: positive voltage to pin B produces a pressure
rise at output port - C2 • Maximum return pressure: 200 psi

• Current/voltage range: up to 170 mA at 4.50 Vdc
Maximum 325 mA at 7.5 Vdc
• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
The PCP is designed to be controlled from a dc current
source or voltage source. If a PWM signal is used, the
signal should, preferably, be greater than 200 Hz. Do not
use a pulse current of more than 120% of that required.

• Maximum internal leakage: 0.65 gpm
• Maximum linear differential output pressure: 300 psi at
500 psi supply
• Maximum output flow: 0.35 gpm at 500 psi supply
• Hydraulic Fluid: Petroleum based, other fluids may be
used, provided that they are compatible with viton and
fluorosilicone seals. Fluid cleanliness is ISO 4406 code

 MOUNTING
This PCP is typically mounted to a second stage valve, such
as the servovalve (i.e., KVF ). Before mounting, ensure that
the PCP O-rings are in place. Torque mounting bolts to 66-
80 N•m (50-60 in • lb) for the servovalves.
If the PCP is to be used as a single-stage, stand-alone,
pressure control valve this will require a manifold. When
mounted onto a Sauer-Danfoss manifold, torque bolts to
26-60 N•m (35-45 in • lb). A common single station manifold
is Sauer-Danfoss Part Number KK02501. KK style
manifolds for PCPs are shipped with PCP are shipped with
PCP to maniflold mounting bolts.
