4/18 4WREE | Proportional directional valve
Bosch Rexroth AG, RE29105, edition: 2018-12
Function, section
The type 4WREE valve is a direct operated proportional
directional valve with electrical position feedback and
integrated electronics (OBE).
Set-up
The valve basically consists of:
Housing (1) with connection surface
Control spool (2) with compression springs (3 and 4)
and spring plate (5 and 6)
Solenoids (7 and 8) with central thread
Position transducer (9)
Integrated electronics (13)
Electric zero point adjustment (12) accessible via the
rubber plug
Function:
With de-energized solenoids (7 and 8), central position
of the control spool (2) by compression springs
(3and4) between spring plates (5 and 6)
Direct operation of the control spool (2) by controlling
aproportional solenoid, e.g. solenoid "b" (8)
Displacement of the control spool (2) to the left
proportional to the electric input signal
This opens the connection from P to A and B to T
via orifice-type cross-sections with progressive
flow characteristic
In the de-energized condition, the control spool (2) is held
in amechanical central position by the return springs
of the solenoids. With control spool symbol "V", this posi-
tion does not correspond to the hydraulic central position!
When the electric valve control loop is closed, the control
spool is positioned in the hydraulic central position.
Valve with 2 spool positions (version "4WREE…A…")
The function of this valve version basically corresponds
to the valve with three spool positions. The 2 spool posi-
tion valves are, however, only equipped with solenoid
"a" (7). Instead of the 2nd proportional solenoid, there
is aplugscrew (10).
Pressure compensation element in the OBE "-967"
To prevent condensate formation in the housing of the
integrated electronics (OBE), an electronics protection
membrane (11) can be used.
Recommended for use outside industry-standard
conditions with high ambient air humidity and significant
cyclic temperature changes (e. g. outdoors).
Notes:
Due to the design principle, internal leakage
is inherent to the valves, which may increase
over the life cycle.
The tank line must not be allowed to run empty.
With corresponding installation conditions, apreload
valve (preload pressure approx. 2bar) must be
installed.
The PG fitting (14) must not be opened.

Important information on hydraulic fluids:
For further information and data on the use of other hydraulic
fluids, please refer to the data sheets above or contact us.
There may be limitations regarding the technical valve data
(temperature, pressure range, life cycle, maintenance intervals,
etc.).
The ignition temperature of the hydraulic fluid used must be 50K
higher than the maximum surface temperature.
Bio-degradable and flame-resistant – containing water: If this
hydraulic fluid is used, small amounts of dissolved zinc may get
into the hydraulic system.
Flame-resistant – containing water:
Due to increased cavitation tendency with HFC hydraulic fluids,
the life cycle of the component may be reduced by up to 30%
as compared to the use with mineral oil HLP. In order to reduce
the cavitation effect, it is recommended - if possible specific to
the installation - to back up the return flow pressure in portsT
to approx. 20% of the pressure differential at the component.
Dependent on the hydraulic fluid used, the maximum ambient
and hydraulic fluid temperature must not exceed 50°C. In
order to reduce the heat input into the component, the
command value profile is to be adjusted for proportional and
high-response valves.
