with maximum pressure relief function

Version "XY" – with additional unload-

ing port X

Port Y –

external pilot oil drain,

separate and at zero pressure to tank

Type DBE…-5X/…XY…G24K4.

Valves of types DBE and DBEM are pilot operated pressure

relief valves. They are used to limit the pressure in hydraulic

systems.

These valves can be used to inﬁ nitely adjust the pressure to be

limited in relation to the electrical command value.

Basically, these valves consist of a pilot valve (1) installed in a

common housing, with proportional solenoid (2) and the main

spool insert (3).

Type DBE…

The pressure present in port A acts on the underside of the main

spool (3). At the same time, the pressure is applied via orifice (4),

ring channel (5) and orifice (6) to the spring loaded side of the

main spool (3). The hydraulic force at the pilot poppet (12) acts

via the radial bore (7), control bore (8) and orifice (9) against the

command value-dependent force of the proportional solenoid (2).

When the hydraulic force overcomes the solenoid force, the pilot

poppet (12) opens. Due to this, pilot oil can drain via port Y (14)

to the tank and causes a pressure differential across the orifice,

which acts on the main spool (3) and lifts it against the force of

the return spring (10). The connection of ports A to B is opened

and there is no further pressure increase.

At port X (13) the valve may be unloaded or the maximum pres-

sure limited.

Type DBEM…

Optionally the valve is available with an additional spring loaded

pilot valve (15) for maximum pressure limitation (redundant pres-

sure relief function).

We generally recommend the selection of this version!

(When using these valves, observe the notes on page 4.)

Type DBEE and DBEME – with integrated electronics (OBE)

In terms of function and design, these valves are basically the

same as types DBE and DBEM, except for the integrated elec-

tronics. The control electronics which is accommodated in hous-

ing (16) receives the supply and command value voltages via the

cable socket (17).

The command value/pressure characteristic curve (zero point

at valve seat (11) and gradient at I

max

potentiometer (R30) in

the control electronics) is factory-set with very low manufactur-

ing tolerances.

The ramp times for pressure build-up and reduction can be set

independently of each other using two potentiometers.

For further details regarding the integrated electronics, see

pages 5 and 6.

Block circuit diagram / pin assignment of integrated electronics

Function

The integrated electronics is controlled via the two differential

ampliﬁ er connections D and E.

The ramp generator generates from a command value step

change (0 to 10 V or 10 to 0 V) a delayed rise or drop in the

solenoid current. The rise time can be adjusted by means of

potentiometer R14, the drop time by means of potentiometer

R13.

The maximum ramp time of 5 s is only possible over the entire

command value range. With smaller command value changes

the ramp time shortens accordingly.

The command value/solenoid current characteristic curve is

matched to the valve by the characteristic curve generator,

so that non-linearities in the hydraulics can be compensated

for and hence a linear command value/pressure characteristic

curve is obtained.

The current regulator controls the solenoid current independ-

ently of the solenoid coil resistance.

The gradient of the command value/current characteristic

curve, and hence also the gradient of the command value/pres-

sure characteristic curve of the proportional pressure valve may

be altered using potentiometer R30.

Potentiometer R43 is used to adjust the biasing current. This

setting should not be altered. If necessary, the zero point of the

command value/pressure characteristic curve can be adjusted

at the valve seat.

The power stage of the electronics for controlling the propor-

tional solenoid is a chopper ampliﬁ er. It is pulse-width-modu-

lated with a clock frequency of 300 Hz.

The solenoid current can be measured at the two measurement

sockets MP1 and MP2. A voltage drop of 0.352 V at the meas-

urement resistor corresponds a to solenoid current of 1.6 A.
