en 5.8.402.03
04/16
Position ports Characteristics Remarks
1 System relief valve
2 Pressure valve, changeover pressure Setting at least 35 bar lower than pos.1, max. 240 bar
3 Shut-o valve If opened, cylinder stops in fully retracted position
4 Throttle check Optional, see catalog number code
P, G1/2 Pump port
T, G1/2 Tank port
A, G1/2 Cylinder port At cylinder head end
B, G1/2 Cylinder port At cylinder rod end
P1, G1/2 Alternative pump port Or gauge port, plugged
T1, G1/2 Alternative pump port
M, G1/4 Measurement connection Gauge port, plugged
X, G1/4 Pressure switch port (inapplicable if valve is basic version block
with throttle check)
Pressure switch, e.g. with break contact. Opens the electrical link
when valve switches over from backward stroke to forward
stroke
Y, G1/4 Pressure switch port-B Pressure switch, e.g. with make contact. Opens the electrical link
when valve switches over from forward stroke to backward stroke
Z, G1/4 Pressure switch port-B For example, in the case of waste presses, for the „safety switch“
3) or for the 3/4- or full- signal as required
Functional Description Regenerative version
In this version of the valve, when the cylinder piston is extending, the oil dispelled on the rod-side is not, as in the basic version, discharged preloaded
to the tank via connection B. But rather it flows through a check valve integrated into the valve block to connection P and as such with the pump output
flow to the cylinder piston area. This means that there is a significant increase in the feed rate speed of the cylinder piston. This „rapid feed switch“ can
be overridden with an increase in pressure of 100 bar (set by the manufacturer) caused by external resistance. Then, the pressing operation takes place
at a reduced speed and, as in the basic version, the return stroke follows.
Note:
Piston Area: Rod Area must be ≤ m 2:1 (e.g. Ø 63/45, Ø 70/50, Ø 80/55, Ø 90/65; Ø 100/70; Ø 110/80; Ø 120/85).
Advantages of regenerative circuit:
• Reduction in cycle time by approx. 33%
• More cost-eective than dual-pump mode
• Reduction of pump and filter sizes, of the electric motor capacity and the cable cross sections
• same cylinder piston speeds whether retracting or rapidly extending
• in additional dual-pump mode (switching in specific baseplate) there are extremely short cycle times (3 Feed rate speeds)
Applications:
This self switching 4/2-way valve block is particularly suitable for driving e.g.
• Waste presses
• Baling presses
• Briquette presses
• Barrel and can presses
• Conveying systems
• Compactor trucks with interchangeable containers
Note:
In waste compactors which are driven by the self switching 4/2-way valve, the end positions of the cylinders can be checked without
„expensive“ and sensitive limit switches. All that is needed are simple pressure switches, connected to ports X or Y.
The cylinder end positions can be used for various dierent purposes in the control system
• Compactor will remain OPEN at the end of the cycle time
• Compactor will remain CLOSED at the end of the cycle time
