Introduction
General Description
DG*V-7 valves are used pri-
marily for controlling the
starting, stopping and direc-
tion of fluid flow.
Two series of valves, DG5V
solenoid controlled, pilot
operated and DG3V pilot
operated models are avail-
able with a choice of 18 dif-
ferent spools. These include
meter-in and meter-out
spools and a regeneration
type that can obviate extra
valves essential in traditional
circuit arrangements.
All spools have been
designed to provide good
low shock, fast response
characteristics which can be
enhanced by optional stroke
and/or pilot choke adjust-
ments.
Models include spring offset,
spring centered, pressure
centered and detented ver-
sions. All are available with
the option of an integral P-
port pilot pressure generator.
DG5V valves can be arranged
for internal or external pilot
pressure and/or drain con-
nections.
Features and Benefits
• High pressure and flow
capability for maximum
cost-effectiveness.
• Low headloss to minimize
power wastage.
• Low shock characteristics
to maximize machine life.
• Facility to change solenoid
coils without disturbing
the hydraulic envelope.
• The many optional fea-
tures, particularly for DG5V
valves, permit matching to
virtually every application
within the valve’s power
capacity.

spool position monitor-
ing switch (CE marked)

EATON Vickers Pilot Operated Directional Valves Catalog V-VLDI-MC007-E March 2007
Application Notes
Pilot Pressure
a. Pilot pressure must
always exceed tank line
pressure by at least the
requisite minimum pilot
pressure. This also applies
when combining open-
center spools (0, 1, 4, 8, 9
and 11) with internal pilot
pressure, but they should
be used only with exter-
nally drained valves.
b. Internally drained valves
may be used only when
surges in the tank line
cannot possibly overcome
the minimum pilot pres-
sure differential referred
to above. When the possi-
bility of pressure surges
in the tank line exist,
externally drained valves
are recommended.
c. When DG5V-7-*N valves
are de-energized the pilot
and main spools remain in
the last selected position,
provided that pilot pres-
sure is maintained. If pilot
pressure fails, or falls
below the minimum, the
main spool will spring
center.
Caution: Because of this in-built feature the
flow conditions of the center position must
be selected with care, for the effect on both
the direction of flow and the pilot pressure.
Minimum-Pilot-Pressure
Generator
Option
Can be built into the P-port
to create a minimum pilot
pressure differential of 0,35
bar (5 psi) where internal
pilot pressure is required
with open-centered spools,
i.e. 0, 1, 4, 8, 9 and 11.
Stroke Adjustment
Options
These control the maximum
opening of the main
spool/body passages by
adjusting the limits of spool
stroke. By this means, the
response time and the pres-
sure drop across the valve
for any particular flow rate
can be controlled. Stroke
adjusters can be fitted at
either or both ends of the
main-stage valve for adjust-
ing the stroke in one or both
directions. One use of
stroke adjusters is for con-
trolling the metering charac-
teristics of “X*” or “Y*”-
type spools. (See model
code #4.)
Pilot Choke Adjustment
Options
These provide a meter-out
flow control system to the
fluid in the pilot chambers of
main-stage valves. It allows
the velocity of the main-
stage spool to be controlled,
thereby reducing transient
shock condition. For opti-
mum results, a constant
reduced pilot pressure is
recommended.
Control Data, General
a. Dependent on the applica-
tion and the system filtra-
tion, any sliding spool
valve, if held shifted under
pressure for long periods
of time, may stick and not
move readily due to fluid
residue formation. It may
therefore need to be
cycled periodically to pre-
vent this from happening.
b. Surges of fluid in a com-
mon drain line serving
two or more valves can
be of sufficient magnitude
to cause inadvertent shift-
ing of the spools. It is rec-
ommended that circuit
protection be used, such
as separate drain lines.
c. Control by stroke
adjusters, pilot chokes
and minimum-pilot-pres-
sure generator options is
described on this page.

Characteristics
Pilot Pressures
Maximum: 350 bar (5000 psi).
Typical minimum differential
pilot pressure characteristics,
shown below, are based on
looped flow through P to A to
B to T under standard test
conditions.
Pressure Drop
Characteristics
The following typical pres-
sure drops ( p) at flow
rates (Q) are based on stan-
dard test conditions, using
oil of 0,865 specific gravity.
Except where otherwise
stated, for any other flow
rate (Q

) the pressure drop
( p

) will be approximately
p

= p (Q

For valves fitted with this
option, the P to A or B pres-

graph on the previous page
is increased by 3,5 bar (51

Hydraulic Fluids
Materials and seals used in
these valves are compatible
with antiwear hydraulic oils,
water-glycols, water-in-oil
emulsions and non-alkyl-
based phosphate esters. The
extreme operating range is
500 to 13 cSt (2270 to 70
SUS) but the recommended
running range is 54 to 13
cSt (245 to 70 SUS). For fur-
ther technical information
about fluids see “Technical
Information” leaflet B-920 or
I-286S.
Contamination Control
Requirements
Recommendations on con-
tamination control methods
and the selection of prod-
ucts to control fluid condi-
tion are included in Vickers
publication 9132 or 561,
“Vickers Guide to Systemic
Contamination Control”. The
book also includes informa-
tion on the Vickers concept
of “ProActive Maintenance.
The following recommenda-
tions are based on ISO
cleanliness levels at 2 m, 5
m and 15 m. For products
in this catalog the recom-
mended levels are:
Up to 210 bar (3000 psi)
20/18/15
Above 210 bar (3000 psi)
19/17/14
Fluid Temperatures
For petroleum oil:
Min. . . . . . . . .. –20˚C (–4˚F)
Max.*. . . . . .+70˚C (+158˚F)
* To obtain optimum service
life from both fluid and
hydraulic system, 65˚C
(150˚F) normally is the maxi-
mum temperature.
For other fluids where limits
are outside those of petrole-
um oil, consult fluid manu-
facturer or Eaton representa-
tive.
Whatever the actual temper-
ature range, ensure that vis-
cosities stay within those
specified under “Hydraulic
Fluids”.

plug has four leads 101,6 mm
(4.0 ) long and one of 177,8
mm (7.0 ) length. All wires
have US Underwriters
Laboratory-recognized non-
solder insulated eyelet termi-
nals. The green wire is used
for the ground (earth) connec-
tion (No. 8-size screw fur-
nished). Valves are supplied
prewired.

When using 3-wire incoming leads to
double solenoid valves (i.e. common
neutral) the inner pair of terminals must
be linked.
2. For correct light indication of energized
solenoid ensure that solenoid leads are
correctly connected: light terminals are
common with each outer pair of solenoid
terminals according to the side with +
mark.
