3/3 Directional Valve
Hydraulically Operated,
Direct Acting
SAE-10 Cartridge – 250 bar
WKH10DC
Up to 45 l/min
Up to 350 bar
The WKH10DC is a hydraulically
operated 3/3 directional valve in a 4-way
cavity. In the spring-centred
normal position all ports are closed.
When there is an increase in pressure at
port 2 against the spring force, the valve
opens between port 3 and port 4. Oil can
ow through the valve in both directions.
When there is an increase in pressure at
port 4 against the spring force, the valve
opens between port 2 and port 3. Oil can
ow through the valve in both directions.
GENERAL
z Principal application is as a ushing valve for hydrostatic drives
z Excellent stability throughout ow range
z All exposed surfaces zinc-plated and corrosion-proof
z All valve parts made of high-strength steel with hardened and ground components
to ensure minimal wear and extended service life
z Versions available with various switch pressures
