The sandwich plate design directional valve elements
B8_58… are very compact direct operated solenoid valves
which control the start, the direction and the leak free stop
of the oil fl ow. These elements basically consist of a
stackable housing (1) with a control spool (2), one solenoid
(5), a spring holder plug (7); two return springs (4); a
solenoid screw-in cartridge VEI (8) with its coil (9).
When energized, the force of the solenoid (5) pushes the
control spool (2) from its rest position “0” to the end
position “b”. If there is a solenoid cartridge VEI (8) type C,
A, O, the oil fl ow goes directly to the port A; if there is a
solenoid cartridge VEI (8) type D (Dual locking), it is
necessary to energize the solenoid cartridge as well in
order to allow the oil fl ow to the port A.
Once the solenoid (5) is de-energized, the return spring (4)
pushes the spool thrust washer (3) back against the
housing and the spool (2) returns in its rest position. The
leak free holding at port A is provided by energizing (or
de-energizing, if the VEI is NC type) the solenoid cartridge.
By energizing open the VEI (8) (“C“ and “A“ versions), the A
port is open to tank and downstream fl ow is possible.
The coils are fastened to the respective solenoids (5) and
VEI (8) by the ring nuts (6) and (10).
