Directional valves of type 4WEH Valves of type WEH are directional spool valves with electrohydraulic actuation. The control the start, stop and direction of a flow. These directional valves basically consist of the main valve with housing (1), main control spool (2), one or two return springs (3.1) and (3.2), as well as pilot valve (4) with one or two solenoids a (5.1) and/or b (5.2). Main control spool (2) in the main valve is held in the zero or initial position by springs or through pressurization. In the depressurized condition, the two spring chambers (6) and (8) are pressureless connected to the tank via pilot valve (4). The pilot valve is supplied with pilot oil via pilot line (7). The supply can be provided internally or externally (externally via port X). When the pilot valve is operated, e.g. solenoid a, pilot spool (10) is pushed to the left and spring chamber (8) is therefore pressurized to pilot pressure. Spring chamber (6) remains pressureless.

The pilot pressure acts on the left side of main control spool (2) and shifts the latter against spring (3.1). In the main valve, port P is consequently connected to B and A to T. When the solenoid is de-energized, pilot spool (10) returns to its starting position (except for impulse spool). Spring chamber (8) is unloaded to the tank. The pilot oil is drained internally (via channel T) or externally (via channel Y). An optional manual override (9) allows pilot spool (10) to be moved without energization of the solenoid. Note! Return springs (3.1) and (3.2) in spring chambers (6) and (8) hold the main control spool (2) in the central position, even if the valve is arranged, for example, vertically.

Pilot oil supply (sections A A and B B), see pages 12 and 13.

Directional valves of type 4WH

Valves of type WH are directional spool valves with hydraulic actuation. They control the start, stop and direction of a flow. These directional valves basically consist of valve housing (1), main control spool (2), one or two return springs (3.1) and (3.2) on valves with spring return or spring centering, as well as reconnection plate (11). The main control spool (2) is actuated directly through pressurization. Main control spool (2) is held in the zero or initial position by springs or through pressurization. The pilot oil is supplied and drained externally (see page 12).

4/3 directional valve with spring centering of the pilot spool With this version, main control spool (2) is held by two return springs (3.1) and (3.2) in the zero position. The two spring chambers (6) and (8) are connected via reconnection plate (11) to ports X and Y. When main control spool (2) is pressurized to pilot pressure on one of the two front faces, it is pushed to the operated position. The connections within the valve are established as required. When the pressurized spool is depressurized, the spring on the opposite side causes the spool to be returned to the zero or initial position.

Pilot oil supply (sections A A and B B), see pages 12 and 13.

Centering bushing (12) is supported within the housing and holds the spool in position. By depressurization of one spool face, main control spool (2) is brought to the operated position. The unloaded spool area displaces the returning pilot oil via the pilot valve into channel Y (external). Note! In this variant, springs (3.1) and (3.2) do not assume a return function.

The pilot oil is drained externally - via channel Y - to the tank. Type 4WEHE The pilot oil is supplied internally from channel P of the main valve. (See page 15, footnotes 8) and 9)) The pilot oil is drained externally - via channel Y - to the tank. Port X in the subplate is plugged. Type 4WEHET The pilot oil is supplied internally from channel P of the main valve. The pilot oil is drained internally - via channel T - to the tank. Ports X and Y in the subplate are plugged. Type 4WEHT The pilot oil is supplied externally - via channel X - from a separate pressure supply. The pilot oil is drained internally - via channel T - to the tank. Port Y in the subplate is plugged. 1 Plug screw M6, 3 A/F pilot oil drain 2 Plug screw M6, 3 A/F pilot oil supply Attention!

Pilot pressure NG10 NG16 NG25 (4W.H 22) NG25 (4W.H 25) NG32 Notes! The switching times are measured in accordance with ISO6403 with HLP46, oil = 40 C 5 C [104 F 9 F]. At different oil temperatures, deviations are possible! The switching times were established using DC voltage solenoids. They are reduced by ca. 20 ms when AC voltage solenoids are used.

The de-energization of the solenoid generates voltage peaks, which can be prevented by installing suitable diodes. When pressure reducing valve D3 is used, the switching times increase by ca. 30 ms. The switching times were established under ideal conditions and can deviate within the system depending on the operating conditions.

Performance limits: Important notes

General:
Attention! The specified switching 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 in the ratio of 1:1). Due to the flow forces acting within the valve, the permissible switching performance limits may be considerably lower with only one direction of flow (e.g. from P to A while port B is blocked with flow in only one direction or different flows)! In the case of such applications, please consult us! The switching performance limit was established when the solenoids were at operating temperature, at 10% undervoltage and without tank pre-loading.

Attention! NG16 With X internal pilot oil supply, a pre-load valve must be used at flows < 160 l/min [42 US gpm] due to the negative overlap of spools C, Z and HC, HZ. When 4/3 directional valves with pressure-centered control spool in the main valve are used beyond the specified performance limit, a higher pilot pressure is required. At, for example, an operating pressure of pmax = 350 bar [5076 psi] and a flow of qV = 300 l/min [79 US gpm] a pilot pressure of 16 bar [232 psi] is required. The maximum flow for these valves therefore depends on the p value, which is acceptable for the system. With X internal pilot oil supply, a pre-load valve must generally be used (see page 37) due to the negative overlap of spools F, G, H, J, P, S, and T. NG25 With X internal pilot oil supply, a pre-load valve must be used at flows < 180 l/min [47.5 US gpm] due to the negative overlap of spools Z, HZ, and V. With X internal pilot oil supply, a pre-load valve must generally be used due to the negative overlap of spools C, HC, F, G, H, P, and T. NG32 With X internal pilot oil supply, a pre-load valve must be used at flows < 180 l/min [47.5 US gpm] due to the negative overlap of spools Z, HZ, and V. When 4/3 directional valves with pressure-centered control spool in the main valve are used beyond the specified performance limit, a higher pilot pressure is required. At, for example, an operating pressure of pmax = 350 bar [5076 psi] and a flow of qV = 1100 l/min [290 US gpm] a pilot pressure of 15 bar [217 psi] is required. The maximum flow for these valves therefore depends on the p value, which is acceptable for the system. With X internal pilot oil supply, a pre-load valve must generally be used due to the negative overlap of spools C, HC, F, G, H, P and T.

Switching time adjustment

The switching time of main valve (1) can be influenced by using a double throttle check valve (2) (type Z2FS6 to data sheet RE 27506). Conversion of meter-in (3) into meter-out control (4): Remove pilot valve (5) plate (6) for accommodating the seal rings remains in place turn switching time adjustment feature (2) around its longitudinal axis and put it down again, re-mount pilot valve (5) . Tightening torque of screws (7) MT = 9 Nm [6.6 ft-lbs]. Attention! The conversion may only be carried out by authorized specialists or in the factory! Type 4WEH 10 ..4X/S Type 4WEH 10 ..4X/S2

Pressure reducing valve D3

Pressure reducing valve (8) must be used in the case of a pilot pressure above 250 bar [3626 psi] (with type 4WEH 22 : 210 bar [3046 psi]) and version H-. The secondary pressure is held constant at 45 bar [652 psi]. Attention! When a pressure reducing valve D3 (8) is used, a throttle insert B10 must be provided in the P channel of the pilot valve. Tightening torque of screws (7) MT = 9 Nm [6.6 ft-lbs].

Pre-load valve (not for NG10)

For valves with pressureless circulation and internal pilot oil supply, a pre-load valve (9) must be installed in channel P of the main valve to build up the minimum pilot pressure. The pressure differential of the pre-load valve must be added to the pressure differential of the main valve (see characteristic curves) to obtain a total value. The cracking pressure is ca. 4.5 bar [65 psi].
