 4 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF DKI, DKU AND DKOR DIRECTIONAL VALVES

Assembly position / location Any position for all valves except for type - 170* (without springs) that must be installed with horizontal
axis if operated by impulses
Commissioning For correct AC operation, the valve must be full of hydraulic fluid, otherwise some vibrations may
occur. In this case fill the valve with oil by opening the screw , see sketch at section 10 and 11 .
A check valve on T line aids to keep valve full.
Subplate surface finishing Roughness index flatness ratio 0,01/100 (ISO 1101).
Ambient temperature from -20C to +70C.
Fluid Hydraulic oil as per DIN 51524 .... 535; for other fluids see section .
Recommended viscosity 15 100 mm2/s at 40C (ISO VG 15 100).
Fluid contamination class ISO 19/16, achieved with in line filters at 25 m value to 25 75 (recommended).
Fluid temperature -20C +60C (standard and /WG seals) -20C +80C (/PE seals)
Flow direction As shown in the symbols of tables
and .
Operating pressure Ports P,A,B: 315 bar;
Port T: 120 bar for DKI; 160 bar for DKU and 210 bar for DKOR; 315 bar for option Y.
For versions with proximity switches (/FI/NC and /FI/NO versions) port Y must be drained
Rated flow See diagrams Q/p at section .
Maximum flow 100 l/min for DKI and DKU; 120 l/min for DKOR, see operating limits at section .
4.1 Coils characteristics
Insulation class H (180C) Due to the occuring surface temperatures of the solenoid coils, the European standards
EN563 and EN982 must be taken into account
Connector protection degree IP 65
Relative duty factor 100%
Supply voltage and frequency See electric feature 
Supply voltage tolerance 10%

5 NOTES
1 Options
A = Solenoid mounted at side of port B (only for single solenoid valves). In standard versions, solenoid is mounted at side of port A.
WP = prolonged manual override protected by rubber cap (standard for DKOR models).
L, L1, L2, L3, LR, see sec. 10 = device for switching time control (only for DKU and DKOR models).
Not available for valves with connectors E-SA or E-SE. For spools 4, 4/8, 5/1 only device L1 is available.
F * = with proximity switch for monitoring spool position: see tab. E110.
Y = external drain - not available for DKI-163* and DKI-175* (standard for versions with proximity switches /F*)
2 Type of electric/electronic connector with connector DIN 43650 to be ordered separately
SP-666 = standard connector IP-65 for direct connection to electric supply source.
SP-667 = as SP-666, but with built-in signal led.
SP-669 = with built-in rectifier bridge for supplying DC coils by alternate current (AC 110V and 230V - Imax 1A).
E-SA = electronic connector (only for DKI and DKU valves) which improves performances and give faster shifting times for DC solenoid supplied by AC power.
E-SE = electronic connector (only for DKI and DKU valves) which improves performances and reduces power consumption for DC solenoid sup-
plied by DC power.
E-SR = electronic connector which permits switching of solenoid valves by a low power signal (max 20mA).
E-SD = electronic connector which eliminates electric disturbances when solenoid valves are de-energized.
Note: disturbance suppressor devices, similar to E-SD are, standard, built in all E-SA, E-SE, E-SR.
3 Spools
- spools type 0/2, 1/2, 2/2 are only used for two position valves: single solenoid valves, type DK*-163*/2; double solenoid valves type DK*-170*/2
and DK*-175*/2.
- spools type 0 and 3 are also available as 0/1 and 3/1 that, when in centre position, oil passage from ports to tank are restricted.
- spools type 1,4 and 5 are also available as 1/1, 4/8 and 5/1. They are properly shaped to reduce water-hammer shocks during the swiching.
Note that the configuration of spool 5/1 is inverted in respect with spool 5: see section .
- spools type 1,3 and 1/2 are also available as 1P, 3P and 1/2P to limit valve leackage.
- Other types of spools can be supplied on request.

The diagrams have been obtained with warm solenoids and power supply at lowest value (Vnom - 10%). The curves refer to application with symmetrical flow
through the valve (i.e. PA and BT). In case of asymmetric flow and if the valves have the devices for controlling the switching times the operating limits
must be reduced.

- nominal voltage
- 2 bar of counter pressure on port T

The elasticity of the hydraulic circuit and the variations of the hydraulic characteristics and temperature affect the response time.

10 DEVICES FOR SWITCHING TIME CONTROL

These devices are only available for DKU and DKOR without E-SA or E-SE and can
check the switching time and therefore reduce the coil hammering in the circuit. The
different types available are shown in the figure.
The functionality of the device depends on the type of regulating element.
- L : checks and regulates the switching time in both moving directions of the spool:
regulation is carried out by screwing/unscrewing the element itself (regulating
choke);
- L1/L2/L3: checks the switching time in both moving directions of the spool with fixed
regulation of this time (gauged flow)
L1 = 1,25 mm; L2 = 1 mm; L3 = 0,75 mm;
- LR checks and regulates the switching time in the ba direction of the spool move-
ment. The device does not intervene in the control of the switching time (standard
time) in the opposite direction ab of the spool movement.

In all cases where it is necessary to obtain damped switching, pair these devices with SPOOL DIRECTION
progressive spools (1/1, 4/8, 5/1) which in the intermediate passages are properly sha-
ped to reduce reversal shocks. a b = sol. energizing a / sol. de-energizing b
The passage in which the regulating element is inserted must be completely full of fluid a b = sol. energizing b / sol. de-energizing a
for it to function properly, see also commissioning at section .
