Shifting Action

Spring centered, pressure centered and

spring offset models must be energized

continuously to maintain the shifted

position. Detented no-spring models

may be energized momentarily

(approximately 0.1 second).

Pressure centered and spring centered

models return valve spool to center

position when solenoids are de-energized.

Spring offset models return spool to

offset position by pilot pressure when

solenoid is de-energized.

When no-spring detented models are

de-energized, the pilot and main spools

remain in the last position attained,

provided there is no shock, vibration,

unusual pressure transients and the

spool axis is horizontal. If pilot pressure

fails or falls below the minimum, the

main spool will spring center (at spring

centered flow rates) and cannot drift to

reversal of flow (pilot stage remains in

detented position).

Caution

Because of this, flow conditions of

the spring centered position must be

selected with care, both for the effect

on the direction of the flow, and the

pilot pressure. (The “9” main spool

will not ensure sufficient pilot

pressure in the center position.)

Pressure centered models: Valve

spool is returned to center position

by pilot pressure, when solenoids

are de-energized. If pilot pressure

fails or falls below the required

minimum, the valve spool will spring

return to center position. (At spring

centered valve flow rates.)

Caution

Surges of oil in a common tank line

serving these and other valves can

be of sufficient magnitude to cause

inadvertent shifting of these valves.

This is particularly critical in the

no-spring detented type valves.

Separate tank lines or a vented

manifold with a continuous

downward path to tank is necessary.

NOTE

Any sliding spool valve, if held for

long periods of time, may stick and

not spring return due to fluid residue

formation and therefore, should be

cycled periodically to prevent this

from happening.

When used as other than a normal

4-way valve, consult your Vickers

representative.

Mounting Position

No-spring detented valves must be

installed with the longitudinal axis

horizontal for good machine reliability.

The mounting position of spring-offset

models is unrestricted provided that the

pilot pressure supply is maintained as

required. (Spring offset valves do not

have a spring in the main spool section.)

Installation Data

Pilot Valve Drain

Internal: To provide maximum flow

without malfunction, pilot pressure of

internally drained valves must always

exceed tank line back pressure by a

minimum of 5,2 bar (75 psi) for spool

types 0, 4, 8 & 9 and a minimum of 10,3

bar (150 psi) for all other spools.

Internal drain may be used with all

valves, however, an integral pressure

port check valve (see optional check

valve note) is required for valves using

an internal pilot source with an open

center spool (0, 4, 8 and 9 types) in

order to maintain pilot pressure. If an

external pilot source is used then an

integral check is not required. When

internal pilot drain is required, order

according to model code. (Pressure

centered valves not included.)

External: When the possibility of

pressure surges in the tank line exists,

externally drained valves are

recommended. For externally drained

models, the pilot valve drain line must

be piped directly to tank through a

surge-free line so there will be no back

pressure at this drain. (Reference

connection “Y”.)

Pressure Centered Drain

(external only)

External pilot drain explanation above

applies to “Y” drain port. Pressure centered

“W” drain connection must be piped

directly to tank through a surge free line so

there will be no back pressure at this drain.

Flow Ratings

Pressure Drop Across

Check Valve

Total pressure drop is determined from

the pressure drop induced by check

valve and other sources. (See graph,

pilot pressure and integral valve notes.)

Total must be greater than minimum

bar/psi for good machine reliability.

To determine check valve cracking

pressure needed to provide pilot

pressure, calculate total pressure drop

through valve (P to T) on center at

minimum flow. Total pressure drop is

determined from pressure drop chart for

standard valve and adding pressure

drop induced by check valve (see

graph). Total must be greater than the

minimum for good machine reliability.

 As system flow increases the minimum pilot pressure required increases. These spools will operate satisfactorily in excess of

946 l/min (250 USgpm) with higher pilot pressures.

NOTE: For the type 52 spool flow recommendations contact your Vickers representative.

 Fast valve switching of large oil volumes, without adequate decompression circuitry, can develop instantaneous flows well

above the maximum ratings. The type 8 spool may spin within the body, causing unusual valve body bore wear when applied in

this type of circuit. With this and other spool types, valve malfunction might occur. Where these applications exist use the DG5S4-10**-S534

special designator for the 4C and 8C anti-spin spools/spring.

Stroke Adjustments

Stroke adjustment limits movement of

jam nut and turning the adjusting screw

inward (clockwise) decreases spool

stroke. See spool control modifications

in model code.

Pressure Centered Pilot

Operated Models

This option provides faster spring

centering time by using pilot pressure to

center the spool. The centering springs

are used in addition to pilot pressure to

insure positive centering of the spool.

The valve spool is returned to center

position by pilot pressure and centering

springs. If pilot pressure fails or falls

below the required minimum, the spool

will return to center position at minimum

pilot pressure flow rates for pressure

centered valves.

Electrical Accessories &

Options

Wiring Housing - Lights for

DG4S4-01-60 Valves

The electrical accessories options are

available on the basic DG4S4-01-*

directional control and all valves that

use the DG4S4-01* as pilot valve. An

electrical wiring diagram is provided on

the bottom of the nameplate, and shown

below, for installation instructions.

Lights (L)

Lights are “on” when there is voltage

across the solenoids. (Only double lights

are available.) Lights are available with

most options. (The light option has an

integral terminal strip) and are for use

with 100 through 125 and 192 through

233 volt service solenoids only. They

are not available for hazardous duty

type models.

Wiring Housing (W)

The wiring housing (W) is a 39,6 (1.56)

high riser block mounted on top of the

pilot valve. A 1/2” NPTF thread

connection is provided in one end of the

housing. The housing can be rotated

180 if the connection is required on

the opposite end. This connection will

readily accept common electrical quick

disconnect assemblies on the market.

The wiring housing is available with

most options.

Grounding

A drilled hole is provided for a #8 self

tapping screw which will permit a ground

wire to be secured to the pilot valve

body.

Wiring housing “W” has a cast hole 

(see below) which also permits securing

a ground wire with customer’s #8 self

tapping screw. Units can be series

grounded if desired. The DG4S4-01 pilot

valve bodies have a cast “ground”

symbol adjacent to the drilled hole.

NOTE

Electrical accessories shown are not

available with hazardous duty type

models identified by model prefix “X”

or “XM”.

Insta-Plug Option

The insta-plug consists of the following

features:

Section “A”, a four–pronged self

aligning electrical plug secured in a

housing that is mounted on top

center of the valve body where the

solenoid leads terminate; or:

A “B” complete insta–plug assembly

that includes the “A” housing on top

of which rests a similar housing

containing the mating receptacle.

The two housings are keyed to

assure proper hook–up.

The top housing is removed from the

lower (“A”) housing to break the

electrical connections to the valve

solenoids, or pressed onto the “A”

housing to complete the circuit. The

assembly is held together by two slotted

thumb screws.

The top housing is removed form the

lower “A” housing to break the electrical

connections to the valve solenoids or

pressed onto the “A” housing to

complete the circuit. The assembly is

held together by two slotted thumb

screws.

A nameplate and solenoid indicator

lights are part of the receptacle when

specified.

Connections to the electric power are

made through the end of the receptacle

housing and can be pre-wired by the

customer. End location of electrical

conduit port permits space–saving

side-by-side valve mounting.

Wire leads approximately 177.8 mm

(7.00”) long are provided when no lights

are specified. Models with lights have

terminals inside the receptacle housing.

After initial installation, electrical and

hydraulic connections need not be

disturbed when valve with insta–plug

is removed.

NOTE

Solenoids “A” and “B” are identified

on the plug-in and receptacle

housing; they correspond with

solenoid identification plate. In case

of tandem valves (#8 spool and LH

models), the insta-plug is rotated

180° and conduit connection is on

the opposite end.

Optional Features

Pressure Centered Valves

This option provides more positive

centering through greater force.

Centering springs are used, in addition

to pilot pressure, to ensure centering

(flow must be within the spring centering

ratings) should pilot pressure fail.

Springs can be removed by the user if

not wanted. Pressure centered models

require a minimum of 14 bar (200 psi)

for pilot pressure. This pressure is not

available through use of an integral

check valve.

The following chart provides centering

times for pressure centered models.

Centering times for pressure centered

models are shown with various pilot

pressures

Notes:

Above figures for “DA” model are with

fast response option (“X” in model

Fast response option not available with

“D” or “DB” models.

Above data based on air gap type

solenoid pilot valve. When using the wet

armature solenoid pilot (“W” in model

code) add .010 seconds to the times

shown. Models with the DG4V3-60

pilots (“M” in model code) not

recommended for this feature.

Integral Check Valves

For open center spools using internal

pilot pressure and internal pilot drain,

select appropriate spring model (K, R or

S) from “check valve pressure drop vs.

flow” curve shown on page 7.

Total pressure drop required is 5,2 bar

(75 psi), therefore, determine valve ∆P

(P to T) at the actual application flow

rate. Subtract this value from 5,2 bar (75

psi) and call its value “C”. Refer to the

“check valve pressure drop” curve at the

application flow rate and select the

spring model letter whose curve is

above the bar (psi) value “C” (See “pilot

pressure” note for external drain

models.)

Example:

Model selected - DG5S4-100C-T-*-5*

and flow in neutral 189 l/min (50

USgpm). Assuming no pressure or

pressure surges in the tank line. To

select proper integral check valve

consider:

∆P (P to T) from chart = approx.

4 bar (55 psi) at 473 l/min

(125 USgpm)

∆P at 208 l/min (55 USgpm) = 4 bar

(55 psi) (

125

)

= 0,6 bar (9 psi)

5,2 bar (75 psi) – 0,6 bar (9 psi) =

4,6 bar (66 psi) additional pilot

pressure to be obtained through

integral check valve, value “C”.

From check valve pressure drop curves

for DG5S4-10 series at 189 l/min (50

USgpm). 4,6 bar (66 psi) is generated

between the R and S check valves.

Select “S” for DG5S4-100C-T-S-W*-5*

Fast Response

Use of this option decreases the shift

time, however, the system shock

generation is increased.

The following chart provides shift times

for fast response and standard spring

centered models for various pilot

pressures.

Note:

All spring centered models require

approximately .125 of a second to

center from either side.

When using the wet armature solenoid

operated pilot (“W” in model

code) add .010 seconds to the times

shown. The DG4V3-60 pilot

is not recommended where fast

response is of concern.

* Because of the high drain line pressure

transients generated during shifting,

use of the fast response option is not

recommended for pilot pressure exceeding

138 bar (2000 psi). DC shift times will be

approximately three or four times the

above AC values.

Subplate

Subplates & Bolt Kits

Valves, subplates and mounting bolts

must be ordered separately.

Example:

One (1) DG3S-102C-5* Valve

One (1) DGSM-10-24S-11 Subplate

One (1) BKDG10-636 Bolt Kit

(bolt length 69,9 (2.75)

When subplate is not used, a machined

pad must be provided for mounting. Pad

must be flat within 0,0127 mm (.0005

inch) and smooth within 1,6 µm (63

microinch). Mounting bolts, when

provided by customer, should be SAE

grade 7 or better.

Application Data

Fluid Cleanliness

Proper fluid 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.

Essential information on the correct

methods for treating hydraulic fluid is

included in Vickers publication 561

“Vickers Guide to Systemic

Contamination Control” available from

your local Vickers distributor or by

contacting Vickers, Incorporated.

Recommendations on filtration and the

selection of products to control fluid

condition are included in 561.

Recommended cleanliness levels, using

petroleum oil under common conditions,

are based on the highest fluid 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.

See Vickers publication 561 for exact

details.

Vickers products, as any components,

will operate with apparent satisfaction in

fluids 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 fluids 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.
