Introduction

General Description

Eaton Vickers

K(B)FD/

TG4V proportional valves

are designed to provide

a controlled oil flow in

direct proportion to a

command signal. They are

available in two types; a

double solenoid version

that will provide reversible

flow to an actuator and

a single solenoid throttle

version that provides a

single direction of flow.

Hydrostats are available

for load compensation and

parallel flow path modules

are available that will boost

the flow capacity of single

solenoid throttle versions

to nearly twice that of the

standard valve.

Additionally, both of these

valve types can be supplied

with or without an integral

amplifier built directly onto

the valve.

KFD/TG4V-5

This version is supplied

without the integral

amplifier.

Features and Benefits

• Wide range of spool and

flow rate options.

• Electronic feedback LVDT

ensures accurate spool

position control.

• Vibration and shock

tested.

• Supported by a broad

range of amplifiers

and auxiliary function

modules.

• Full CE electromagnetic

compatibility.

KBFD/TG4V-5

A range of proportional

directional and throttle

valves with integral control

electronics. Factory-set

adjustments of gain, spool

deadband compensation

and offset ensure consistent

repeatability valve-to-valve.

The only electrical inputs

required are power supply

(24V) and a voltage

command signal of

±10V

or 4-20 mA. The amplifier

is housed in a robust metal

enclosure, sealed against

ingress of water and other

fluids. Electrical connections

are via a standard 7-pin plug.

A spool position monitor

pin allows the function of

the valve to be electrically

monitored. Ramp functions,

if required, can be generated

externally.

Features and Benefits

• Factory-sealed adjust-

ments ensure valve-to-

valve reproducibility.

• Installation wiring reduced

and simplified.

• Standard 7-pin connector.

• Standard 24V DC supply

with wide tolerance band.

• Optional

±10V DC or 4-20

mA command signals.

• Valve with integrated

amplifier selected,

ordered, delivered and

installed as one perfor-

mance-tested package.

• Spool position monitor pin

to help with troubleshoot-

ing.

• Simple valve removal and

replacement for service

(plug & play).

• Vibration and shock tested.

• Auxiliary DIN rail mounted

electronic function mod-

ules available. Full CE

electromagnetic compat-

ibility.

• IP65 & IP67 valve environ-

mental protection rating.

• Optional valve enable

function.

WARNING

Valves with

are supplied with or

without the metal 7-pin

plug. The Vickers plug,

part no. 934939, must be

correctly fitted to ensure

that the EMC rating and

IP67 rating are archieved.

The plug retaining nut must

be tightened with a torque

of 2-2,5 Nm (1.5-2.0 lbf ft)

to effect a proper a proper

When using the single

solenoid throttle valve

(K*FT), a dual flowpath

module (page 16) can be

used to approximately

double the flow rate.

Curves shown include

deadband compensation

provided for the KF valve by

the Eaton’s Vickers Eurocard

(user adjustable).

KB valves are preset at the

factory to compensate for

the effect of spool overlap.

NOTE: For optimum valve

operation, bleed the air from

the proportional solenoids at

initial start-up. This may be

done as follows:

• The valve may be pres-

surized by removing the

bleed screws until no

bubbles appear and then

reinstalling bleed screws,

or...

• Remove both bleed

screws, and use a stan-

dard oil can nozzle to

pump fluid in one side

until it flows, free of air

bubbles, out the other

side. Reinstall screws.

If there is no inherent back

pressure in the tank port of

the circuit do not allow the

tank line to empty. This may

be prevented by installing a

check valve in the tank line.

The cracking pressure of the

check valve should be in the

range of 22 - 45 psi (1.5 - 3

bar).

Warning

Valves with integral

supplied with or without the

metal 7-pin plug. The Eaton

plug, part no. 934939, must

be correctly fitted to ensure

that the EMC rating and

IP67 rating are achieved. The

plug retaining nut must be

tightened with a torque of

2,0-2,5 Nm (1.5-2.0 lbf ft) to

effect a proper seal.

Subplates and

Mounting Surfaces

General Description

If a subplate is not used,

a machined pad must be

provided for valve 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 ISO 898 class

12.9 or better.

Dimensional Tolerances

Dimensional tolerance on

interface drawings is

± 0,2

mm (

±0.008”) except where

otherwise stated. ISO 4401

specifies inch conversion to

± 0.01”.

Conversion for Metric

ISO 4401 gives dimensions

in mm. Inch conversons are

accurate to 0.01” unless

othewise stated.

Mounting Bolt Tapping

ISO 4401 gives metric

thread tappings. Alternate

UNC tapping are Eaton’s

recommendations that allow

these plates and associated

valves to be used up to

their maximum pressures,

when using Eaton

recommended bolt kits,

or bolts of an equivalent

strength. It is recommended

that customer’s own

manifold blocks for UNC

bolts should be tapped to

the minimum depths given

in the footnotes.

kept as far away as possible

from any sources of elec-

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.

Recommendations on contamination control methods

and the selection of products to control fluid condition

are included in Eaton’s publication 9132 or 561, “Vickers

Guide to Systemic Contamination Control”. The book also

includes information on the Eaton’s concept of “ProActive

Maintenance”.

The following recommendations are based on ISO

cleanliness levels at 2 µm, 5 µm and 15 µm:

For products in this catalog the recommended levels are:

0 to 70 bar (1000 psi) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18/16/13

70 + bar (1000 + psi) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17/15/12

Eaton 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

components is shortened in fluids with higher cleanliness

codes than those listed above. These codes have been

proven to provide a long trouble-free service life for the

products shown, regardless of the manufacturer.

Hydraulic Fluids

Materials and seals used in these valves are compatible

with antiwear hydraulic oils, and non-alkyl-based phosphate

esters. The extreme operating viscosity 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 further technical

information about fluids see “Technical Information” leaflet

B-920 or I-286S.

Installation

The proportional valves in this catalog can be mounted in

any attitude, but it may be necessary in certain demanding

applications, to ensure that the solenoids are kept full

of hydraulic fluid. Good installation practice dictates that

the tank port and any drain port are piped so as to keep

the valves full of fluid once the system start-up has been

completed.

Mounting Bolt Kits

For K(B)FD/TG4V-5

BKDG01633M (metric)

BK869705 (inch)

If not using Eaton recommended bolt kits, bolts used should be to ISO 898, 12.9 or better.

Service Information

The products from this range are preset at the factory for

optimum performance; disassembling critical items would

destroy these settings. It is therefore recommended that

should any mechanical or electronic repair be necessary

they should be returned to the nearest Eaton repair center.

The products will be refurbished as necessary and retested

to specification before return.

Field repair is restricted to the replacement of the seals.

NOTE: The feedback/solenoid assembly installed in this

valve should not be disassembled.
