EATON Vickers Pilot Operated Directional Valves Catalog V-VLDI-MC007-E March 2007
Model Codes
DG3V-7 20 Series, Pilot
Operated Directional Valves
Fluid Compatibility
Blank =
Antiwear hydraulic oil
(class L-HM),
invert emulsion (class L-HFB),
or water glycol (class L-HFC)
F3 = As above or phosphate
ester (class L-HFD)
Note: For further information see
“Hydraulic Fluids” section on page A.12.
Spool Type
See “Functional Symbols”
section on pages 3-4.
Spool Spring
Arrangement
A = Spring offset, end-to-
end (P to B when oper-
ated)
AL = As “A” but left-hand
build (P to A when
operated)
B = Spring offset, end-to-
center (P to B when
operated)
BL = As “B” but left-hand
build (P to A when
operated)
C = Spring centered
D = Pressure centered
N = Two-position detented
DG5V option. Same function from
DG3V-7-*C valves by alternating pilot
supply to one port (X or Y) and perma-
nently draining the other.
Spool Control
1 = Stroke adjustment at both
ends
2 = Pilot choke adjustment
both ends
3 = “1” and “2” combined
7 = Stroke adjustment, port A
end only
8 = Stroke adjustment, port B
end only
27= “2” and “7” combined
28= “2” and “8” combined
Omit if not required
Not applicable to DG5V-7-*B(L) models.
Not applicable to models shown in
the “Spring offset, end-to-center,
opposite hand” section on page A.3.
Not applicable to models shown in
the “Spring offset, end-to-center” section
on page A.3.
Main Stage Spool
Monitoring Switch
(Omit if not required.)
PCA - Center sensing switch
on “A” port end
PCB - Center sensing switch
on “B” port end
PDA - Double offset sensing
switch on “A” port end
PDB - Double offset sensing
switch on “B” port end
PCD - Center sensing switch
on “A” port end and
double offset sensing
switch on “B” port end
PPA - Offset sensing proximity
switch “A” port end
PPB - Offset sensing proximity
swtich “B” port end
PPD - Offset sensing proximity
switch both ends
* The spool position monitoring switch
shown on this technical document is CE
marked and certified and complies to
European Standard EN 61000-6-4: 2001
(Emissions) for Class A and European
Standard EN 61000-6-2: 2001 (Immunity).
External Pilot Supply.
DG5V Valve Option
Omit for internal pilot supply
Internal Pilot Drain, DG5V
Valve Option
Omit for external drain, which
is also mandatory for 1, 4, 8
and 9 spool-type valves
Minimum-Pilot-Pressure
Generator (“P” Port Option)
K = 0,35 bar (5 psi) cracking
pressure
Omit if not required
Manual Override Option
Blank = Plain override in sole-
noid end(s) only
▲
H = Water-resistant manual
override on solenoid end(s)
▲
Z = No override at either end
▲
No override in non-solenoid end of
single-solenoid valves.
Solenoid Energization
Indentity
V = Solenoid “A” is at port A
end of pilot valve and/or
solenoid “B” at port B
end independent of
main-stage valve port
locations or spool type;
German practice.
Omit (except as noted
below) for US ANSI B93.9
standard whereby solenoid
“A” is that which, when
energized, connects P to A
in main-stage valve, and/or
solenoid “B” connects P to B.
Note: Energization identities on valves
with type 4 or 8 spools are identical
under US and German practices. In such
cases the “V” code is used.
