Key valve features
DX-6 is a sectional valve designed for
max. operating pressures up to 350 bar
and max. pump ows up to 180 l/min with
“Q-inlet”. For standard inlets without ow
regulator the recommended max. pump
ows is 140 l/min. The valve is available
with 1 to 10 working sections per valve
assembly.
DX-6 includes as standard a variety of
sections, spools, spool controls and
additional parts in a modular design.
That makes the valve very exible.
The valve is, as standard, setup for both
manual and remote control. The manual
controlled sections can either be with
open spool ends or encapsulated. The
encapsulation decreases in a signi cant
way the risk for external leakage and
makes the valve well adapted for
applications in demanding environment.
The spool controls for remote control are
generally designed as complete modules
for assembling on one of the valve sides.
DX-6 is in rst place designed as an open
center valve for xed displacement pumps
but can also be con gured for variable
displacement pumps. It is available with
manual, hydraulic or electro-hydraulic
proportional remote control.
DX-6 can be fully adapted for marine
applications. The valve offers excellent
operating characteristics, and good
controllability on a wide range of machinery
due to the specially designed spools.
Low and uniform spool forces are the result
of careful balancing of the ow forces.
Q-inlet
The Q-inlet is designed with a ow control
(Q-function) that by-passes the major part
of the pump ow to tank when the system
is idling, still giving access to full pump ow
when the working sections are operated.
Besides greatly reducing heat generation
this also provides improved operating
characteristics.
Applications
The DX-6 is ideal for applications where
you need excellent control characteristics
such as cranes, sky-lifts, garbage
trucks, demountable bodies, excavators,

Remote control
As remote controlled the valve offers
compact design with internal pilot oil supply,
solenoids in a compact assembly on one
side of the valve and integrated hand levers
for manual override / manual operation.
The integrated pilot supply system for the
electro-hydraulic remote control makes the
valve easy to install and gives a reliable
remote control function. It is also possible to
supply the pilot system externally.
The hydraulic remote control can also be
con gured both for internal and external pilot
supply.
