1. DESCRIPTION
1.1. GENERAL
HYDAC flow control valves
DVE are, in accordance with
DIN-ISO 1219, valves which are
designed to control the flow rate
in oil hydraulic systems by means
of an adjustable constriction of
the cross-section.
The flow rate is dependent on
pressure differential and viscosity.
HYDAC flow control valves DVE
have a specially designed throttle
mechanism to enable fine
adjustment and shut-off of the
flow. The flow control and shut-off
function works in both directions.
Further advantages of these
valves are:
Compact construction as
cartridge valve.
For installation in control blocks.
A high level of safety is achieved
through patented spindle safety
mechanism.
A set-screw locks the setting.
Choice of four sizes ensures best
possible adaptability to the
system.
Simple assembly due to service-
friendly cartridge valve
technology.
Mounting position is optional.
1.3 APPLICATIONS
HYDAC flow control valves DVE
are used:
for regulating the speed of loads
for system-related damping in
hydraulic circuits
for pressure-dependent control of
flow rates in general
to release pressure from
accumulator systems
as an emergency drain for
lowering a load
Areas of application include,
for example:
Hydraulic units
Elevating platforms
Mobile hydraulics
1.4. NOTE
When fitting the valves into
control blocks and housings the
recommended torque ratings
must be observed.

1.2. FUNCTION
HYDAC flow control valves
consist essentially of a valve
body, a special control spindle
and the control knob. Starting with
the control spindle in the fully
closed position when the flow is
shut off, the flow rate increases
according to the relevant graph
(see point 2.2.8) as the number of
turns of the control knob is
increased.
The control knob with its coloured
scale and scale rings permits
accurate repetition of the settings.
The size of the coloured triangle
on the rings indicates the size of
the flow area. An increase in the
size of the coloured triangle
corresponds to an increase in flow
area. A set-screw locks the
setting. The flow is controlled in
both directions.

The fitting of filters and regular replacement of
elements guarantees correct functioning, reduces wear
and tear and increases the service life.
