FUNCTION
Spool stroke, aperture and volume ow in-
crease proportionally to the increase in the
electric current at the proportional solenoid.
This special design senses and compensales
load induced ow changes. Flow remains
constant with var ying pressure. The optimised
shape of the spool results in a good resolution
of owimportant for sensitive motion control.
To control the valve Wanduh proportional
ampliers are available (see register 1.13).
APPLICATION
Because of the high resolution and low hy-
steresis, these valves are particularly suitable
for demanding tasks. Applications:
handling operations, robots, actuators, radar
controlled vehicles, tool making and paper
production machines, in other words any-
where where precise control systems are
needed.
DISCRIPTION
Directly controlled spool valve, actuated
by a Wanduh proportional solenoid (VDE
standard 0580), in ve chamber design. Wet
solenoid in oil. Spools with precision machined
oil passages control the oil volume wich is
proportional to the solenoid current. Reduced
pressure drop achieved by optimised ow
channels. Precise spool t, long life. Spool
made of hardened steel, valve body made
of high quality cast iron suitable for hydraulic
valves. Flange type, threaded connection by
means of a connecting plate.
