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

Due to extremely high demand, please call 888-651-5712 for availability

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

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

Type 4WE 6.. 6X/O...XD (only possible with symbols A, C and 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.

Type 4WE 6.. 6X/OF... XD (impulse spool, only possible with symbols A, C and 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:

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

The tank line must not be allowed to run empty. With corresponding installation conditions, a preload valve (preload pressure approx. 2 bar [30 psi]) is to be installed.

Throttle insert (type 4WE 6..6X/…XD../B.. )

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

It is inserted in channel P of the directional valve.

1) With symbols A and B, port T must be used as leakage oil connection if the operating pressure exceeds the admissible tank pressure.
2) The cleanliness classes specified for the components must be adhered to in hydraulic systems. Effective filtration prevents faults and simultaneously increases the life cycle of the components. For the selection of the filters, see www.boschrexroth.com/filter.

For applications outside these parameters, please consult us!

Performance limits

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

Notice

The specified switching power 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 switching power limit may be considerably lower with only one direction of flow (e. g. from P → A while port B is blocked)!

(In such use cases, please consult us.)

The switching power limits were established while the solenoids were at operating temperature, at 10 % undervoltage and without tank preloading.

Over-current fuse and switch-off voltage peak

Notice

A fuse appropriate for the solenoid's rated current (max. 3 x Irated according to DIN 41571 and/or IEC 60127) or a protective motor switch with short-circuit protection and thermal instantaneous tripping must be connected upstream of each valve solenoid as short-circuit protection. The shut-off threshold of this fuse must match or exceed the short-circuit current of the supply source.

This fuse or protective motor switch may only be fitted 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. For this reason, the valve solenoids comprise an interference protection circuit which dampens this voltage peak to the voltage value shown in the table.
