SUMMARY:  Directional spool valves: WE 6.-5x/

Add to Cart

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 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 impulse spools). The control spool (3) is actuated by wet-pin solenoids in hydraulic fluid (2).

To ensure proper functioning, make sure that the pressure chamber of the solenoid is filled with hydraulic fluid.

The force of the 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 → A and B → T or P → B and A → T.

After de-excitation of the solenoid (2), the return spring (4) pushes the control spool (3) back to its rest position.

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

 

Without spring return “O” (only possible with symbol D)

This version is a directional valve with two spool positions and two solenoids without detent. In the de-energized condition, there is no defined spool position.

 

Without spring return, with detent “OF" (Impulse spool, only possible with symbol D)

This version is a directional valve with two spool positions, two solenoids and one detent.

It alternately locks the two spool positions and the solenoid therefore does not need to be permanently energized.

 

Notice:

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

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

The connection line requires a minimum temperature rating of 105 °C. When selecting the connection line, please observe the requirements regarding the temperature rating and avoid contact of the connection line with the solenoid surface. In case of valves with two solenoids, maximally one of the solenoids may be energized at a time. In case of bank assembly, the maximum ambient temperature may not exceed 50 °C. Ensure unobstructed heat dissipation at the solenoid. The solenoid may not be covered or exposed to direct sunlight. For use of the valve in the intended explosion protection atmosphere, a conduit seal has to be installed in the pipeline within 450 mm (downstream of the valve solenoid).

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

Notice:

The specified performance limits are valid for use with two directions of flow (e. g. from P → A and simultaneous return flow from B → T).

Due to the flow forces acting within the valves, the admissible performance limit may be considerably lower with only one direction of flow (e. g. from P → A while port B is blocked).

In such cases, please consult us.

The performance limits were determined when the solenoids were at operating temperature, at 10 % undervoltage and without tank preloading.

The FM-tested valve solenoid of the valve is equipped with a connection compartment and an NPT connection thread (NPT 1/2") for pipelines.

The connection is polarity-independent.

Notice:

Corresponding to the rated current, a fuse according to DIN 41571 and EN / IEC 60127 has to be connected upstream of every valve solenoid (max. 3 x IG).

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 area 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.
