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

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE
SECTIONAL
TYPE
For more information: WWW.SALAMI.IT
There are two characteristic phases in the spool stroke (7 mm - 0,275 in.):
a) the overlap phase (about 18% of the stroke) guarantees minimum internal leakages in neutral position;
b) the progressive flow regulation phase (82% of the stroke).
Both pictures show a 6/3 valve type with double acting spool only as principle of functioning.
Salami VD8A
is available in different solutions.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Salami directional control valves belong to the 6/3 (or 6/4) type; they can control 6 gallery in 3 (or 4) spool positions
simult
aneously.
They are open circuit types: when the spool is in neutral position, the fluid flows directly to the tank with minimum
internal pressure drops (approximatively 1 bar / 14.5 psi for each spool at nominal flow).
When the spool is moved from this position, the neutral gallery is gradually throttled and the connection between
pump and actuator, through the corresponding port, is made.
When a pressure exceeds the value of the pressure existing in port A or B, the fluid flows through the load check
valve to the actuator.
The picture show the P working module

aths N - P - A - B - T.

When proceeding to mount the unit on the structure and to connect fittings to work ports, it is necessary to comply
with the values of tightening torques.
The att
achment of linkages to spools should not affect their operation. The mounting position can be vertical with
inlet module on the top or horizontal.
INSTALLATION
The contamination of the fluid in the system greatly affects the life of the unit. Above all, contamination may result in
irregular operation, wear of seals in valve housings and failure
s. Once the initial contamination level of the system
has been reached, it is necessary to limit any increase of contamination installing an efficient filtration system (see
working conditions page 3).
FILTRATION
PIPES
Pipes should be as short as possible, without restrictions or sharp bends (especially the return lines).
Before connecting pipes to the fittings of the corresponding com ponents, make sure that they are free from burrs and
other contamination.
As a first approximation, for a mobile machine with standard length pipes, their width should guarantee the following
values of fluid speed
*
:
6 ÷ 10 m/sec inlet pipe 19,7 ÷ 32,8 ft/sec inlet pipe
3 ÷ 5 m/sec outlet pipe 9,9 ÷ 16,4 ft/sec outlet pipe
the lowest values of fluid speed are required in case of wide temperature range and/or for continuous duty.
*

21,2 x Q

Usually a mineral-base oil with a good viscosity index should be used, preferably with good lubricating properties
and corrosion, oxidation and foaming resist
ant.
Sometimes the fluids supplied by the manufacturers do not satisfy purity requirements (see page 3 WORKING
CONDITIONS). It is therefore necessary to filter the fluid carefully before filling. Your supplier can give you the
information about NAS class of its fluids. To maintain the proper purity class, the use of filters of high dirt capacity
with clogging indicator is recommended.
Under humidity conditions it is necessary to use hygroscopic salts.
For operation with fire resistant and ecological fluids, please contact our technical department.

The built-in priority flow valve in this inlet
module, supplies the oil to the power
steering.This priority valve(PF port in dwg.)
supplies always a stand by flow to the steering
also when the unit is still.When the steering is
operated the flow through the valve can
increase or decrease according to the load
induced by steering and setting range.
4 setting ranges are available:
from 3 to 11 l/min - from 0.79 to 2.9 US gpm
from 6 to 13 l/min - from 1.58 to 3.43 US gpm

This picture shows the VD8A assembled, in this case you
have a manual control "NP" on
A side and a spring return
in neutral position "C2" on B side.In this case the manual
control "NP" is used directly to have the spool movement,
in other case, for example with electro-hydraulic control,
there is only a safety lever. Considering that VD8A is a
simmetrical valve, all spool controls and positionings can
be placed on both sides A or B.In case of hydraulic kick-
out "G2 - G4 - G5" and with spools types 13 - 17 - 18, you
can also decide A or B side but after that this is the final
position because with this type of control and spools the
working module have a special machining.
In this and following pages you can find all spool controls
and spool positionings, they are all assembled with socket
hexagon head screw or in some case hexagon head screw:
M5 x 0.8 with tightening torque of 4.5 ± 0.5 Nm.

Preliminary specifications about electro-hydraulic controls
Before to introduce electro-hydraulic single modules it is neces
sary to specify the adding hydraulic components
necessary for the right functioning of it.As you can see in the drawing and hydraulic scheme it needs a pressure
reducing valve "PRV" at the inlet of piloting circuit that reduce the pressure of "P" line at the max value of 25 bar (363
psi), a back pressure "CPV" on neutral line that assure a min. pressure of 8 bar (116 psi) and some accessories as
fittings, pipe and filter.The pressure reduction at the piloting circuit inlet and the minimum value of
neutral line can be obtained also
with external st
andard valves made
by valve manufacturers, for this
reason Salami electro-hydraulic
controls can be supplied without
"PRV" and "CPV".
In this case is necessary to specify
it in phase of order.
Our standard supply has the "Tp"
port opened, we recommend to
connect it directly to tank because
a counter-pressure could be cause
of malfunction.
With reference to page 20,
"OUTLET MODULES", the outlet
U8 is shown in the hydraulic
scheme here below, remember that
with a special sleeve instead of
"CPV" valve you can change U8 in
a power beyond outlet type "U5".
