1 Description
Our sectional proportional valves regulate the flow rate to
the actuator by means of an internal closed-loop control
system. Load-independent flow control is guaranteed by in
dividual pressure compensators upstream of each propor
tional directional valve (load-sensing principle). The highly
adaptable modular system consists of an inlet module, ac
tuator modules (with up to eight sections), and an end mod
ule and is specially designed for use in mobile hydraulics.
The user can be assured that the right system is always
available for every application.
This is accomplished by:
S Various inlet modules
S Actuator modules with individual compensator and op
tional, individually adjustable, primary and secondary
pressure-relief valves
S Various types of operators
Use Section 6, “Ordering code”, to establish the complete
valve code.

8 Fluid
The oil for SC22 products must have a minimum cleanliness
level of 20/18/15 to ISO 4406 or class 9 to NAS 1638.
We recommend the use of fluids that contain anti-wear addi
tives for operation with boundary lubrication. Fluids without
appropriate additives reduce the service life of pumps and
motors. The user is responsible for maintaining, and reg
ularly checking, the fluid quality. Bucher Hydraulics recom
mends a Brugger EN/DIN 51347 load capacity >
30 N/mm
2
.
This is particularly important in applications with variable-
speed drives and speeds < 1000 rpm.
9 Note
This catalogue is intended for users with specialist knowl
edge. The user must check the suitability of the equipment
described herein in order to ensure that all of the conditions
necessary for the safety and proper functioning of the sys
tem are fulfilled. If you have any doubts or questions con
cerning the use of these pumps, please consult Bucher Hy
draulics.
