SUMMARY:  Directional spool valves: WE 6.-6x/

Add to Cart

The directional valves of type WE are solenoid-actuated directional spool valves. They control the start, stop and direction of a flow.

The directional valves basically consist of the housing (1), one or two electronic solenoids (2), the control spool (3), and one or two return springs (4).

In the de-energized condition, the control spool (3) is held in the central position or in the initial position by the return springs (4) (except for version "O"). The control spool (3) is actuated by wet-pin electronic solenoids (2).

For perfect functioning, the hydraulic system must be bled properly.

The force of electronic solenoid (2) acts via the plunger (5) on the control spool (3) and pushes the latter from its rest position to the required end position. This enables the necessary direction of flow from P to A and B to T or P to B and A to T.

When the electronic solenoid (2) is de-excitated, the return spring (4) pushes the control spool (3) back to its rest position.

An optional manual override (6) allows the control spool (3) to be moved without solenoid energization.

 

Without spring return "O" (only possible with symbols A, C and D)

This version is a directional valve with two spool positions and two electronic solenoids without detent. The valve without spring return at the control spool (3) has no defined basic position in the de-energized condition.

 

Without spring return with "OF" detent (only possible with symbols A, C and D)

This version is a directional valve with two spool positions and two electronic solenoids with detent. The detents are used to lock the control spool (3) in the relevant spool position. During operation, continuous application of current to the electronic solenoid can thus be omitted which contributes to energy-efficient operation.

 

Notices:

Pressure peaks in the tank line to two or several valves can result in unintended movements of the control spool in the version with detent. We therefore recommend that separate return lines be provided or a check valve installed in the tank line.

Due to the design principle, internal leakage is inherent to the valves, which may increase over the life cycle.

Throttle insert "...B"

The use of a throttle insert is required when, due to prevailing operating conditions, flows occur during the switching processes, which exceed the performance limit of the valve.

Special application conditions for safe application

Connection lines must be passed in a pull-relieved way. The valve is to be installed in a way that no impact stress > 4 J can become effective. In order to avoid dangers caused by static charge, the base and/or subplate on which the valve is to be fitted must be electrically conductive and included in the equipotential bonding. The valve must not be installed close to charge generating processes. Dust layers with a thickness of > 50 mm are inadmissible. Maximum hydraulic fluid temperature:
In case of bank assembly, as long as only one solenoid is energized at a time and in case of individual assembly: +80 °C
In case of bank assembly, if more than one solenoids are energized simultaneously: +65 °C The maximum temperature of the surface of the valve jacket is 110 °C. This has to be considered when selecting the connection cable and/or contact of the connection cable with the surface of the jacket is to be prevented.

Performance limits

(measured with HLP46, ϑOil = 40 ±5 °C)

 

Notice:

The specified performance limits are valid for operation with two directions of flow (e.g. from P to A and simultaneous return flow from B to T).
Due to the flow forces acting within the valves, the possible performance limit may be considerably lower with only one direction of flow (e.g. from P to A while port B is blocked).
The performance limits were determined when the solenoids were at operating temperature, at 10% undervoltage and without tank preloading.

Notice:

A fuse which corresponds to the rated current according to DIN 41571 and EN / IEC 60127 has to be connected upstream of every valve solenoid (max. 3 x Irated).

The shut-off threshold of the fuse has to match the prospective short-circuit current of the supply source.

The prospective short-circuit current of the supply source may amount to a maximum of 1500 A.

This fuse may only be installed outside the potentially explosive atmosphere or must be of an explosion-proof design.

When inductivities are switched off, voltage peaks result which may cause faults in the connected control electronics.

The voltage peak must be damped by a suitable external circuitry. We recommend a circuitry with a suppressor diode with a limitation voltage of approx. 50 V.
