Product description:
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 (2).
To ensure proper functioning, make sure that the pressure chamber of the solenoid is filled with oil.
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.
Type 4WE 6.. 5X/O…X (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.
Notice:
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty. With corresponding installation conditions, a preload valve (preload pressure approx. 2 bar) is to be installed.
Throttle insert (valve type 4WE 6..5X/…X…/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.
Example: Type 4WE 6 E5X/.B.X.K20L/..
