Introduction
KDG and KTG Valves
Vickers KDG and KTG valves are non-
feedback type proportional valves.
The KDG is a proportional directional
valve with two solenoids (Cmodels). It
incorporates control of ow, direction,
acceleration, and deceleration in a single
control valve.
The KTG is a proportional throttle valve
with a single solenoid. B models are spring
centered with solenoid A removed. F
models are spring oset to port A and
respond to an increasing signal by
reducing the flow rate. The KTG’s spool
can be innitely positioned to achieve
throttling (restriction) of the uid ow.
The primary function of these valves is to
direct and meter uid ow in proportion to
current received by the solenoid. This uid
ow controls the velocity, direction, and
acceleration or deceleration of a work
cylinder or uid motor.
These valves are designed to fill the
performance gap between conventional
solenoid operated directional valves and
servo valves or feedback-type
proportional valves. They provide control
of spool position and metered uid ow in
applications that don’t require the high
levels of accuracy, repeatability, or
response possible with feedback-type
proportional valves or servos.
Used with Vickerselectronic ampliers,
these valves provide an interface between
control system intelligence and hydraulic
muscle. This is a very practical way to
control actuator direction and speed while
eliminating shock caused by rapid
acceleration and deceleration of machine
loads.
In addition to improving machine
performance and life, these proportional
valves substantially simplify system design
by combining direction and ow control
capabilities in one package that mounts to
a standard NFPA/ISO subplate or
manifold interface.
The valve can also be readily tailored to a
vast array of applications by specifying the
specic valve conguration which best meets
system requirements.
The valve is controlled by applying current
to either solenoid A or solenoid B. This
current produces a force at the solenoid
push pin which, in turn, causes spool
travel. The spool will continue its motion
until the solenoid force is balanced by the
return spring force. Therefore, spool travel
is proportional to the amount of current
passing through the solenoid coil.
KADG and KATG Valves
The above description of KDG and KTG
valves also applies to KADG and KATG
valves, with one exception. “KA” valves
have an integral amplifier, whereas KDG
and KTG valves do not.
The control amplier of KA models is
housed in a sturdy metal enclosure built
directly on, and prewired to, the valve.
Factory-set adjustments of gain, balancing
deadband and dither ensure high
repeatability valve-to-valve. The only
electrical inputs required are power
supply (24V) and a voltage command
signal of 10V.
Features and Benefits
These global products, manufactured to
world-class quality standards, are sold and
serviced throughout the world.
KDG4V and KTG4V valves have a low
installed cost due to commonality of parts
with Vickers DG4V-3(S) solenoid
operated directional valve.
These valves open up expanded
application opportunities as a cost-
eective alternative to feedback-type
proportional and servo valves.
Sustained high machine productivity and
uptime result from the proven fatigue life
and endurance of reliable KDG4V and
KTG4V valves.
Vickers exible design approach provides
optimum performance. A wide variety of
matching electronic ampliers, valve
options, and spool ratings allows the system
designer exibility in meeting application
requirements.
All valves are NFPA fatigue rated at 350
bar (5075 psi) for improved reliability and
performance.
The fully encapsulated solenoid coils are
impervious to common industrial uids.
Coils can be removed and replaced
quickly and easily without breaking into
the hydraulic envelope.
The valves’ standard ISO 4401-03
mounting is interchangeable with any
NFPA D03 or CETOP 3 interface.
The engineering resin junction box is NEMA
4 rated for resistance to water and all
commonly used industrial uids.

General Information
Typical Applications
This type of valve is often used in both
mobile and industrial “line-of-sight”
applications where speed and position are
controlled by an operator. Some examples
are aerial work platforms, entertainment
industry rides, farm combine controls,
material handling equipment, and process
controls. Any application using a DG4V-3(S)
60-design solenoid operated
directional valve is a potential application
for the KDG4V-3(S) or KTG4V-3(S)
The standard performance KDG4V-3S or
KTG4V-3S should be used on most
applications where a tank line pressure
rating of 100 bar (1450 psi) is acceptable.
The high performance KDG4V-3 or
KTG4V-3 should be used on
applications where a tank line pressure
rating of 210 bar (3000 psi) is required.
Commonly used electrical input devices
include joystick controllers, proportional
push buttons, potentiometers, power plugs,
and amplier cards. Input devices that
operate on the principle of direct voltage
rather than current control will require the
appropriate coil type (GP or HA).
Meter-in and Meter-out
System requirements must be clearly
understood and taken into consideration
when selecting a valve spool. Meter-out
spools have the metering notches
positioned between the actuator port and
the tank port, creating a throttle in the
hydraulic actuator’s return line.Meter-out is
the most common spool conguration and
is typically used in applications with over
center loads and/or requiring deceleration
control.
Meter-in spools have the metering notches
positioned between the pressure port and
the actuator port, creating a throttle in the
hydraulic actuator’s inlet line. Meter-in
spools are commonly used with hydrostat
modules for pressure compensation in
applications that don’t have an overrunning
load as well as in load sensing pump
circuits.
Spools with both meter-in and meter-out
ow characteristics should be specied in
applications where load changes (resistive
to overrunning or vice versa) will occur.
They should also be selected when
uncertain system dynamics prevent the
selection of specic meter-in or meter-out
spool types.
Valve Spool Position
Spring centered and spring oset valves
will be spring positioned unless the
solenoid is energized continuously.
NOTE
Due to silting, any sliding spool valve
held shifted under pressure for long
periods may stick and not spring return.
It is recommended that such valves be
cycled periodically to prevent this from
occurring.
Flow Rates
The rate of ow through a proportional
valve is dependent on spool position and
valve pressure differential. This issimilar to
ow through a needle valve. Like a needle
valve, as a proportional valve is opened,
the rate of ow increases, and if the
pressure differential across the valve
changes (because of load pressure
changes, for example), the ow will vary.
Because of this phenomenon, “rated ow”
is an arbitrary term, dependent on the
above parameters.
Unlike a needle valve, however,
proportional valves exhibit an inherent
degree of load compensation whereby
increasing valve pressure drop has
progressively less effect on flow rate (see
Power Capacity Envelopes on pages 13
and 26). To eliminate the eects of
pressure changes, a hydrostat module can
be installed under the proportional valve to
achieve pressure compensation.
Recommended Fluids
Petroleum oils are recommended for use
with the KDG4V and KTG4V.
Fluorocarbon seals are standard and are
suitable for use with phosphate ester type
uids or blends, water glycol, water-in-oil
emulsion uids, and petroleum oils.Refer to
publication 694 for uid and temperature
recommendations. HWBF (95% water) is
not recommended.
Pressure Compensation
For information on using a SystemStak
reducing valve to achieve pressure
compensation control, please contact your
Vickers Representative.
Accessories
See page 32 for information onmounting
surface, subplate, and bolt kits.
Electrical Signals
It is important to note that solenoid force
and valve ow are proportional to
current—not voltage. Therefore, for
optimum performance, a constant current
electrical signal should be used. This type
of signal will help compensate for the drift
that would otherwise occur when current
flow causes solenoid temperature and
resistance to increase.
Flow is metered directly in proportion to the
command signal applied to the amplier.
Metering performance is enhanced by
machined metering notches on the valve
spool. As the spool travels from its
centered position, these metering notches
create an increasingly greater orifice area,
allowing more uid to pass.
Electrical Connectors
KDG4V-3S and KTG4V-3S
On FT (flying lead) models, electrical
connections to the valve are made in the
wiring housing, and a ground terminal is
provided. SP1 and SP2 models have
spade type terminals on each solenoid.
DIN 43650 connectors are also available
by specifying the U coil type. When U1 is
specified, DIN 443650 mating plugs are
included.
KDG4V-3 and KTG4V-3
DIN 43650 connectors are standard.
Mating plugs must be ordered separately.

System Calculations for Valve Selection
The “rated ow” values for this range of
proportional valves are determined with a
looped ow path pressure drop (e.g.
P→A→B→T) of 10 bar (145 psi) when
the valve is fully open. As explained on page
4, however, “rated ow” is an arbitrary
term dependent upon external factors.
It is important to properly size a
proportional valve to achieve good
resolution. A common mistake in specifying
proportional valves is selecting too high a
rated ow. The result may be poor control
of the actuator, particularly with respect to
velocity and resolution. The ideal valve
size is usually one that provides just enough
maximum ow to achieve the required
actuator velocity.
The following steps can be used to determine
the proper size for a proportional valve. This
procedure applies to a conventional four-way
valve controlling an equal area piston driving a
load in an application in which velocity is
the critical parameter. For dierential area
cylinders, base the calculations on the
maximum cylinder ow rate.

Example
A hydraulic system consisting of a pressure
compensated pump, proportional valve,
and equal area cylinder must develop a
maximum force of 6400 N (1440 lbf ) and
move a 200 N (45 lbf) load at a
velocity of 0,25 m/s (9.84 in/s).The force
required to maintain this velocity is 1000 N
(225 lb), and the pump’s compensator is
set at 60 bar (870 psi).

2. Determine ow required to drive
actuator at desired velocity:
4. Determine valve pressure drop:
5. Refer to Flow Gain Curves and

(P

Calculated flow (Q) is 16,1 L/min (4.24
USgpm), and valve pressure drop (P
V
) is
50,6 bar (734 psi). Reference to the
KDG4V-3S “Flow Gain” graphs(see page
10) shows that the 15N spool (meter-in
and meter-out) will do the job. A
KDG4V–3S–2C15N would be selected.

Wiring Connections for Valves with integral Amplier
Note: In applications where the valve
must conform to European RFI/EMC
regulations, the outer screen (shield) must
be connected to the outer shell of the 7-pin
connector and the valve body must be
fastened to the earth ground. Proper
earth grounding practices must be
observed in this case, as any differences
in command source and valve ground
potentials will result in a screen (shield)
ground loop.
0Vmust be
connected
to ground
Warning
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
It is necessary to ensure that the valve is wired-up as above. For eective protection, the user
electrical cabinet, the valve subplate or manifold, and the cable screens should be connected to
ecient ground points. The metal 7-point connector, part no. 934939, should be used for the
integral amplier.
In all cases, both valve and cable should be kept as far as possible from any sources of
electromagnetic radiation such as cables carrying heavy current, relays and certain kinds of
portable radio transmitters, etc. Dicult environments could mean that extra screening may be
necessary to avoid the interference.
It is important to connect the 0V lines as shown above. The multi-core cable should have at least
two screens to separate the demand signal and monitor output from the power lines.

Fluid Cleanliness
Proper uid condition is essential for long
and satisfactory life of hydraulic
components and systems. Hydraulic fluid
must have the correct balance of
cleanliness, materials, and additives for
protection against wear of components,
elevated viscosity and inclusion of air.
Recommended cleanliness levels, using
petroleum oil under common conditions,
are based on the highest uid pressure
levels in the system and are coded in the
chart below. Fluids other than petroleum,
severe service cycles, or temperature
extremes are cause for adjustment of
these cleanliness codes.
Vickers by Danfoss products, as any
components, will operate with apparent
satisfaction in uids with higher cleanliness
codes than those described. Other
manufacturers will often recommend levels
above those specified. Experience has
shown, however, that life of any hydraulic
component is shortened in uids with
higher cleanliness codes than those listed
below. These codes have been proven to
provide a long, trouble-free service life for
the products shown, regardless of the
manufacturer.
