DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE
SECTIONAL
TYPE
GENERAL FEATURES
Among all hydraulic directional control valves used in the field of mobile equipment applications, the spool valve is
the most popular
.
The sectional valve type allows construction flexibility.Salami VD8A directional control valve is modular construction
and consist of an inlet section, up to 8 working modules and an outlet section.All these elements are secured in one
block by means of tie-rods.(For more than 8 working modules please contact our sales dept.)
FEATURES
VD8A directional control valve has the following:
• cast-iron body (inlet section, working section, outlet section)
• parallel circuit, load check valve protection on each section
• series circuit, load check valve protection on each section (possibility of 2
nd
load check valve on series line)
• tandem circuit, load check valve protection on each section
• several types of mid modules
• possibility of venting valve
• possibility of power beyond configuration
• spool construction in steel, hardened and chromium-plated to obtain a higher surface hardness and a better corrosion resistance
• several types of spool: double, single acting, spool motor, float position etc.
• minimum tolerance between the spools and the body to obtain a minimum internal leakage
• interchangeabilty of all the spools
• possibility of auxiliary valve either on port A or B or on both
• several spool control devices and spool positioning devices
VALVE AND DEVICE TYPES
In order to meet the most stringent demands and to of
fer a wider range of applications, the following types of valves
and devices are available:
Valves
• direct main relief valve: controls the maximum pressure in the circuit when one or more spools are on end stroke
located on "A" or "B" port side, can be:
direct type version up to 260 bar - 3700 psi
pilot operated with anticavitation version up to 350 bar - 5000 psi
• electric and external piloted venting valve: located in the opposite cavity of the main relief valve and is available as 12 or 24
Vdc and normally open or normally closed versions (available also as venting valve for the ports A and B)
• overload and anticavitation valve on port A or/and B: set at a higher value (in comparison with the main relief valve), it protects
the working ports from load induced pressures , avoids cavitation in the system created by the inertia.
• anti-cavitation check valve on port A or/and B: avoids cavitation in the system created by the inertia.
• flow restrictor: directly fitted on the "A/B" ports orifice
Devices
• handle controls
• handle safety devices: avoids accident
al operation of the spool
• cross lever: allows to acting two spools with one manual joystick
• cable remote control
• control device for microswitches: for the operation with electric d.c. motor driven pumps at one or more rotation speeds
• hydraulic kick-out: returns the spool automatically to the neutral position when the preset pressure of port "A" or "B" is exceeded
• anti-tilt device: the spool returns automatically in neutral position when the pressure reaches a pre-set value to avoid cranes
from becoming unstable
• pneumatic proportional control
• electropneumatic control
• hydraulic proportional control
• direct electric on-off control with emergency manual device
• electrohydraulic on-off and proportional control
• several spool positionings device to return the spool to neutral position or to lock the spool on working position
