The sandwich plate design directional valve elements
L8011… are compact direct operated solenoid valves
which control the start, the stop and the direction of the oil
fl ow, with the option to adjust the spool switching time.
These elements basically consist of a stackable housing (1)
with a control spool (2), one or two solenoids (5), and one
or two return springs (4).
The spring chambers are connected to the tank port
through orifi ces. When energized, the spool (2) travels and
oil is pushed to tank from one of the spring chambers: if
the cross section of the orifi ces changes, the switching
time changes as well. Three orifi ce sizes are available:
smaller orifi ce diameter results in longer switching time,
even though the actual time is dependent upon pressure,
fl ow and viscosity.
When energized, the force of the solenoid (5) pushes the
control spool (2) from its neutral-central position to the
required end position, and the required fl ow from P to A
(with B to T), or P to B (with A to T) is achieved. Once the
solenoid is de-energized, the return spring (4) pushes the
spool thrust washer (3) back against the housing and the
spool returns in its neutral-central position.
Each coil is fastened to the solenoid tube by a ring nut (6).
A pin (7) allows to push the spool (2) in emergency
conditions, when the solenoid cannot be energized, like in
case of voltage shortage.

Hydraulic fl uid
General properties: it must have physical lubricating
and chemical properties suitable for use in hydraulic
systems such as, for example:
Mineral oil based hydraulic fl uids HL (DIN 51524 part 1).
Mineral oil based hydraulic fl uids HLP (DIN 51524 part 2).
For use of environmentally acceptable fl uids (vegetable or
polyglycol base) please consult us.
