General Information
Safety in Application All makes and all types of control valves (incl. proportional valves) can fail, thus the
necessary protection against the serious consequences of function failure should
always be built into the system. For each application an assessment should be made for
the consequences of pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements.
To determine the degree of protection that is required to be built into the application,
system tools such an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and Hazard and Risk
Analysis can be used.
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) IEC EN 61508

FMEA is a tool used for analyzing potential risks. This analytical technique is utilized to
define, identify, and prioritize the elimination or reduction of known and/or potential
failures from a given system before it is released for production.
Please refer to IEC FMEA Standard 61508.
Hazard and Risk Analysis ISO 12100-1 / 14121

This analysis is a tool used in new applications as it will indicate whether there are
special safety considerations to be met according to the machine directives EN 13849.
Dependent on the determined levels conformity this analysis will detirmine if any extra
requirements for the product design, development process, production process or
maintenance, i.e. the complete product life cycle.
WWarning
All makes/brands and types of directional control valves – inclusive proportional valves –
can fail and cause serious damage. It is therefore important to analyze all aspects of the
application.
Because the proportional valves are used in many different operation conditions and
applications, the manufacturer of the application is alone responsible for making the
final selection of the products – and assuring that all performance, safety and warning
requirements of the application are met.
The process of choosing the control system – and safety levels – is governed by the
machine directives EN 13849 (Safety related requirements for control systems).

General Information
PVG 32 with Open Center When the pump is started and the main spools in the individual basic modules (11) are in
PVP (fixed displacement the neutral position, oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure
pump) • PVB with Flow adjustment spool (6) to tank. The oil flow led across the pressure adjustment spool
Control Spool determines the pump pressure (stand-by pressure).
When one or more of the main spools are actuated, the highest load pressure is fed
through the shuttle valve circuit (10) to the spring chamber behind the pressure
adjustment spool (6), and completely or partially closes the connection to tank to
maintain pump pressure.
Pump pressure is applied to the right-hand side of the pressure adjustment spool (6).
The pressure relief valve (1) will open should the load pressure exceed the set value,
diverting pump flow back to tank.
In a pressure-compensated basic module the compensator (14) maintains a constant

pressure drop across the main spool – both when the load changes and when a module
with a higher load pressure is actuated.
With a non pressure-compensated basic module incorporating a load drop check valve
(18) in channel P, the check valve prevents return oil flow.
The basic module can be supplied without the load drop check valve in channel P for
functions with over-center valves.
The shock valves PVLP (13) with fixed setting and the suction valves PVLA (17) on ports
A and B are used for the protection of the individual working function against overload
and/or cavitation.
An adjustable LS pressure limiting valve (12) can be built into the A and B ports of
pressure-compensated basic modules to limit the pressure from the individual working
functions.
Please see The sectional drawing V310106.A on the next page for better understanding of
this example.
The LS pressure limiting valves save energy compared with the shock valves PVLP:
• with PVLP all the oil flow to the working function will be led across the combined
shock and suction valves to tank if the pressure exceeds the fixed setting.
• with LS pressure limiting valves an oil flow of about 2 l/min [0.5 US gal/min] will be led
across the LS pressure limiting valve to tank if the pressure exceeds the valve setting.

General Information
PVG 32 with Closed In the closed center version of PVP an orifice (5) and a plug (7) have been fitted instead
Center PVP (variable of the plug (4). This means that the pressure adjustment spool (6) will only open to tank
displacement pump) • when the pressure in channel P exceeds the set value of the pressure relief valve (1).
PVB with Flow Control
Spool In load sensing systems the load pressure is led to the pump control via the LS
connection (8).
In the neutral position the pump load sense control sets the displacement so that
leakage in the system is compensated, to maintain the set stand-by pressure.
When a main spool is actuated the pump load sense control will adjust the displacement
so that the set differential pressure (margin) between P and LS is maintained.
The pressure relief valve (1) in PVP should be set at a pressure of approx. 30 bar [435 psi]
above maximum system pressure (set on the pump or external pressure relief valve).

General Information
Load Sensing for Variable The pump receives fluid directly from the reservoir through the inlet line. A screen in the
Displacement Pump inlet line protects the pump from large contaminants. The pump outlet feeds directional
Supply control valves such as PVG-32, hydraulic integrated circuits (HIC), and other types of
control valves. The PVG valve directs and controls pump flow to cylinders, motors and
other work functions. A heat exchanger cools the fluid returning from the valve. A filter
cleans the fluid before it returns to the reservoir.
Flow in the circuit determines the speed of the actuators. The position of the PVG valve
spool determines the flow demand. A hydraulic pressure signal (LS signal) communicates
demand to the pump control. The pump control monitors the pressure differential
between pump outlet and the LS signal, and regulates servo pressure to control the
swashplate angle. Swashplate angle determines pump flow.
Actuator load determines system pressure. The pump control monitors system pressure
and will decrease the swashplate angle to reduce flow if system pressure reaches the
pump control setting. A secondary system relief valve in the PVG valve acts as a back-up
to control system pressure.

Function
Load Sensing Controls The LS control matches system requirements for both pressure and flow in the circuit
regardless of the working pressure. Used with a closed center control valve, the pump
remains in low-pressure standby mode with zero flow until the valve is opened.
The LS setting determines standby pressure.

Most load sensing systems use parallel, closed center, control valves with special porting that
allows the highest work function pressure (LS signal) to feed back to the LS control.
Margin pressure is the difference between system pressure and the LS signal pressure.
The LS control monitors margin pressure to read system demand. A drop in margin pressure
means the system needs more flow. A rise in margin pressure tells the LS control to decrease
flow.
LS control with bleed orifice (do not use with PVG valves)
The load sense signal line requires a bleed orifice to prevent high-pressure lockup of the
pump control. Most load-sensing control valves include this orifice. An optional internal
bleed orifice is available, for use with control valves that do not internally bleed the LS
signal to tank.
Integral PC function
The LS control also performs as a PC control, decreasing pump flow when system
pressure reaches the PC setting. The pressure compensating function has priority over
the load sensing function.
For additional system protection, install a relief valve in the pump outlet line.
Load sensing system characteristics:

• Variable pressure and flow
• Low pressure standby mode when flow is not needed
• System flow adjusted to meet system requirements
• Lower torque requirements during engine start-up
• Single pump can supply flow and regulate pressure for multiple circuits
• Quick response to system flow and pressure requirements

The remote PC control uses a pilot line connected to an external hydraulic valve.
The external valve changes pressure in the pilot line, causing the PC control to operate at
a lower pressure. When the pilot line is vented to reservoir, the pump maintains pressure
at the load sense setting. When pilot flow is blocked, the pump maintains pressure at the
PC setting. An on-off solenoid valve can be used in the pilot line to create a low-pressure
standby mode. A proportional solenoid valve, coupled with a microprocessor control,
can produce an infinite range of operating pressures between the low pressure standby
setting and the PC setting.
Size the external valve and plumbing for a pilot flow of 3.8 l/min [1 US gal/min].
Remote pressure compensated system characteristics:

• Constant pressure and variable flow
• High or low pressure standby mode when flow is not needed
• System flow adjusts to meet system requirements
• Single pump can provide flow to multiple work functions
Typical applications for remote pressure compensated systems:

• Modulating fan drives
• Anti-stall control with engine speed feedback
• Front wheel assist
• Road rollers
• Combine harvesters
• Wood chippers

Function
PVG 32 Main Spool with The PC control maintains constant system pressure in the hydraulic circuit by varying the

Once the closed center valve is opened, the PC control senses the immediate drop in
system pressure and increases pump flow by increasing the swashplate angle.
The pump continues to increase flow until system pressure reaches the PC setting.
If system pressure exceeds the PC setting, the PC control reduces the swashplate angle
to maintain system pressure by reducing flow. The PC control continues to monitor
system pressure and changes swashplate angle to match the output flow with the work
function pressure requirements. If the demand for flow exceeds the capacity of the
pump, the PC control directs the pump to maximum displacement. In this condition,
actual system pressure depends on the actuator load.

Function
PVPC Adapter for PVPC with check valve for open center PVP
External Pilot Oil Supply PVPC with check valve is used in systems
where it is necessary to operate the PVG 32
valve by means of the electrical remote
control without pump flow.
When the external solenoid valve is

opened, oil from the pressure side of
the cylinder is fed via the PVPC through
the pressure reducing valve to act as the
pilot supply for the electrical actuators.
This means that a load can be lowered by
means of the remote control lever without
starting the pump.
The built-in check valve prevents the oil from flowing via the pressure adjustment spool
to tank.
With the pump functioning normally the external solenoid valve is closed to ensure that
the load is not lowered due to the pilot supply oil flow requirement of approximately
1 l/min [0.25 US gal/min].
With closed center PVP the external pilot oil supply can be connected to the pressure
gauge connection without the use of a PVPC plug.

Function
PVPC Adapter for PVPC without check valve for open or closed center PVP
External Pilot Oil Supply PVPC without check valve is used in
(continued) systems where it is necessary to supply
the PVG 32 valve with oil from a manually
operated emergency pump without
directing oil flow to the pilot oil supply
(oil consumption about 0,5 l/min) [0.13
US gal/min].
When the main pump is working normally,

the oil is directed through the PVPC plug
via the pressure reduction valve to the
electrical actuators.
When the main pump flow fails, the external shuttle valve ensures that the oil flow from
the manually operated emergency pump is used to pilot open the over center valve and
lower the load. The load can only be lowered using the mechanical operating lever of the
PVG 32 valve.

PVMR, Friction Detent The friction detent PVMR allows the PVMR
directional spool to be held in any
position, resulting in infinitely variable,
reversible, pressure compensated flow.
This can be sustained indefinitely

without having to continue to hold the
mechanical lever.
PVMR should only be used together

with PVB basic modules with pressure
compensator.

Function
PVBS, Main Spools for When using standard flow control spools, the pump pressure is determined by the
Flow Control (Standard) highest load pressure. This is done either via the pressure adjustment spool in open center
PVP (fixed displacement pumps) or via the pump control (variable displacement pumps).
In this way the pump pressure will always correspond to the load pressure plus the stand-by
pressure of the pressure adjustment spool or the pump control. This will normally give
optimum and stable adjustment of the oil flow.
PVBS, Main Spools PVBS main spools with linear characteristic have less dead band than standard spools
for Flow Control (with and a proportional ratio between control signal and oil flow in the range beyond the
Linear Characteristic) dead band. PVBS with linear characteristic must never be used together with PVEM
electrical actuators.
The interaction between the small dead band of the spools and the hysteresis of the
PVEM actuator of 20% involves a risk of building up a LS pressure in neutral position.
In a few systems load sensing pump pressure may result in unstable adjustment of the
oil flow and a tendency towards system hunting.
This may be the case with working functions that have a large moment of inertia or over-
center valves. In such systems main spools for pressure control can be advantageous.
PVBS, Main Spools for The spools are designed in such a way that the pump pressure is controlled by the spool
Pressure Control travel. The main spool must be displaced until the pump pressure just exceeds the load
pressure before the working function is applied. If the main spool is held in this position,
the pump pressure will remain constant – even if the load pressure changes – giving a
stable system.
The use of pressure control spools, however, also means that:
• the oil flow is load dependent
• the dead band is load dependent
• the pump pressure can exceed the load pressure by more than is usual
• the pressure drop across main spool varies (energy consumption)
Due to these factors it is recommended that pressure control spools are only used when
it is known for certain that problems with stability will arise or already have arisen, and in
applications where constant pressure is needed e.g. drill holding.

Function
PVG 32 Main Spool Background

with Pressure Control Instability in load sense control systems in certain applications with oscillations in
(continued) the range of 1/2 - 2 Hz. can cause severe instability problems while trying to control
functions in an application.
Critical applications are usually related to functions with an important inertia torque
and/or functions with secondarily fitted pressure controlled components e.g. over-center
valves.
Examples; a slewing function and main lifting/lowering function of a crane.
The problem usually manifests itself in prolonged oscillation phenomena (Fig. 1), in a
relatively constant sequence of oscillations (Fig. 2) or in the worst case in an amplified
sequence of oscillations (Fig. 3).
Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3

P Prolonged sequence P Constant sequence P Amplified sequence
time time time

P005 627E
To control the oscillation phenomena the "pressure control spool" was developed and is
a patented system which can minimize most of the oscillation issues described above.
Principle
The idea was to create a system operating independently of a constantly changing
load pressure. Therefore, we changed the well-known LS principle (Fig. 4), so that
compensated pump pressure is part of the LS system (Fig. 5) after the pressure
compensator and before the metering range of the main spool. Upon actuation of the
spool, it will be led via a fixed and a variable orifice.
The opening area of the variable orifice is at maximum at initial actuation and 0 at full
stroke of the spool and then the pressure created between the two orifices is led into the
LS system in the usual way.

In this way the pump pressure is built The pump pressure vs. the spool travel curve
up depending on the spool travel, i.e.
the spool will then have to be stroked
to a position that the pump pressure is
higher than the actual load pressure to
make the oil flow from P➝A/B.
When the load changes for a fixed spool

position the flow to for the function will
also change.
The valve section is now a load-dependent valve, but ensuring a constant pump
pressure which is important in obtaining a stable function.

Function
PVG 32 Main Spool with Application

Pressure Compensated Pressure controlled spools should in principle only be used when you have stability
Control (continued) issues. Typical applications on a crane:
• Lifting/lowering movement
• Slewing movement with cylinders
• For the main lifting/lowering function on a crane it is recommended to fit a "half"
pressure control spool. This means that the spool is designed with a normal flow
control on the lifting port and pressure control connected to the port where the pilot
signal to the over-center valve is acting. You will thus maintain a load-independent
lifting movement and achieve a stable but load-depending lowering movement.
• As the load pressure on slewing movements is usually steady - irrespective of the
crane being loaded or not – it will be advantageous to use a "full" pressure control
spool for A and B port.
In both cases we recommend the use of a basic valve, PVB, with pressure compensator.
The pressure compensator will ensure the individual load-independency between the
basic valves.
It is further recommended to use the LS pressure relief valves as not only will they ensure
individual pressure limitation but also make it possible to adjust the maximum oil flow to
the function.
It is not recommended to use shock valves as pressure limiting valves in connection with
pressure control spools.
Sizing
The size of "half" (e.g: P - A = flow control P - B pressure control) pressure control spools
is determined on basis of max. flow demand on the lifting port. If e.g. a max. pressure
compensated flow of 65 l/min for the lifting movement, you choose a 65 L/min spool
(size D). The metering characteristic has then a given size. As it is often requested to
limit the use of the crane boom for downward push/force mode and the LS pressure
limitation can be used. It will appear from the characteristics enclosed what effect a
pressure limitation, PLS will have on max. flow on the lowering port.
The size for a "full" pressure control spool is determined on basis of known load pressure,
PLS max, and requested max. flow.
It will appear from the characteristics enclosed that if the load PLS is low and the pump
pressure, Pp, is high as a result of max. stroked spool you will get a large flow.
If PLS is approaching PLS max. the flow will be reduced and the dead band increased.
Max. oil flow can be reduced by approx. 50% without limiting max. pressure.
The reduction is made by limiting the spool travel from 7 mm to 5.5 mm.
Limitation
If a pressure controlled spool is chosen for stability reasons consideration should be
made to features related to the pressure control principle.
Deadband will change according to the load conditions and the valve section will
become load-dependent and that the pump pressure may exceed the load pressure.
With all of the above in mind, a “pressure controlled spool” will minimize oscillation and
obtain a stable function that can be controlled smooth and precise.

Function
PVPX, Electrical LS PVPX is a solenoid LS unloading valve. PVPX is fitted into the pump side module
Unloading Valve enabling a connection to be made between the LS and the tank lines. Thus the LS signal
can be relieved to tank by means of an electric signal.
For a PVP pump side module in open center version the relief to tank of the LS signal
means that the pressure in the system is reduced to the sum of the tank port pressure
plus the neutral flow pressure for the pump side module.
For a PVP pump side module in closed center version the relief to tank of the LS signal
means that the pressure is reduced to the sum of the tank port pressure for the pump
side module plus the stand-by pressure of the pump.

Electrical control of PVG Valve actuation with electrical actuators PVG with PVE
has been supported by Sauer-Danfoss
for a long time. The actuation can be
controlled directly by joystick, by a
PLUS+1 controller or by a broad range of
third part controllers.
The actuator controls the spool by

building up pilot oil pressure on the

pressure between 10 and 15 bar is used.
For the PVHC a pilot oil pressure between F500113

Technical Characteristics
General The characteristics in this catalog are typical measured values. During measuring a
mineral based hydraulic oil with a viscosity of 21 mm2/s [102 SUS] at a temperature of
50°C [122°F] was used.
PVP, Pump Side Module Pressure relief valve characteristic in PVP

The pressure relief valve is set at an oil flow of 15 l/min [4.0 US gal/min].

PVB Oil flow characteristics

The oil flow for the individual spool depends on:
• type of basic module (with/without compensation)
• type of pump (fixed or variable displacement).
Pressure-compensated PVB, open or closed center PVP

The oil flow is dependent on the supplied pump oil flow. The characteristics are plotted
for a pump oil flow, QP, corresponding to the rated max. spool oil flow, QN. Increasing the
pump oil flow to 1,4 × QN will give the same oil flow on the eighth as on the first basic
module.
Please note, the letters AA, A, B, etc. denote spool types. The characteristic below is shown
for spool travel in both directions. All other characteristics are shown for spool travel
in one direction only.

Oil flow as a function of spool travel
The spool flow is dependent on the supplied oil flow, QP.
The characteristics apply to supply oil flow of 130 l/min [34.3 US gal/min] with the
actuation of one basic module and the supply flow level.
If several basic modules are activated at the same time, the characteristic depends on
the load pressure of the actuated basic modules.

PVB, Basic Module PVB without pressure compensation, closed center PVP
(continued)
Set pressure difference between pump

pressure and LS signal = 10 bar [145 psi].
Set pressure difference between pump

pressure and LS signal = 20 bar [290 psi].
The oil flow is dependent on the pressure difference between the pump pressure and
the LS signal. Normally the pressure difference is set at the LS pump regulator. Also
take into consideration pressure drop from the pump to the PVG valve group. e.x. long
pipeline.

PVLP, Shock and Suction PVLP, shock valve

Valve PVLP is set at an oil flow of 10 l/min [2.6 US gal/min]. The shock valve PVLP is designed to
absorb shock effects. Consequently, it should not be used as a pressure relief valve.
If the working function requires the use of a pressure relief valve, a PVB basic module
with built-in LSA/B pressure limiting valve should be used.

Examples of How To Use Example 1: Determining the oil flow

the Characteristics for • Given:
Pressure Control Spools –– Spool type B
–– Pressure setting PP: 160 bar [2320 psi]
–– Load pressure, LSA/B: 100 bar [1450 psi]
• Result:
–– Oil flow = 75 l/min [19.8 US gal/min]
Example 2: Determining the spool size

• Given:
–– Max. oil flow, QA/B: 90 l/min [23.8 US gal/min]
–– Pressure setting PP: 150 bar [2175 psi]
–– Load pressure, PLSA: 125 bar [1810 psi]
• Result:
–– D spool (see previous page, size D)
Normally a smaller spool can be chosen with pressure control. It is our experience that
the spool can be one size smaller than with normal flow control.

Characteristics for Float Characteristic of oil flow, spool travel and voltage
Position Main Spools
• 4.8 mm [0.19 in] spool displacement in direction A gives max. oil flow to port A
• 4.8 mm [0.19 in] spool displacement in direction B gives max. oil flow to port B
• 8 mm [0.32 in] spool displacement in direction B gives completely open float position
A/B → T.
The spools have 4,8 mm spool travel in direction A and 8 mm travel in direction B:

Characteristics for Float Pressure drop A/B → T at max. spool travel within the proportional range (4.8 mm) [0.19 in]
Position Main Spools
(continued)
Spools D and E have the same opening area for forward flow and return flow.
Spool E can give 100 l/min [26.4 US gal/min] pressure compensated oil flow due to a
higher pressure drop across spool E. This occurs during spool actuation only.

The angle of the handle is determined by which side of the handle that is mount towards
the base. If a 22.5° angle is needed the "dot" on the handle is not visible. If 37.5° is
needed the dot should be visible.
Surface Treatment The PVG valve has as standard, an untreated surface. In certain applications, depend on
different factors, such as: salty environment, large temperature changes, high humidity,
rust can develope on the surface. This will not affect the performance of the PVG valve
group.
To prevent/reduce rust development, Sauer-Danfoss recommend, the PVG valve group

to be painted.
Rust on the surface is not seen as a valid complaint issue, neither on painted or
unpainted PVG valve groups.

Other Operating Conditions
Oil The main duty of the oil in a hydraulic system is to transfer energy. It must also lubricate
the moving parts in hydraulic components, protect them against corrosion, and transport
dirt particles and heat out of the system. It is therefore important to choose the correct oil
with the correct additives. This gives normal operation and long working life.
Mineral oil
For systems with PVG 32 valves Sauer-Danfoss recommends the use of mineral-based
hydraulic oil containing additives: Type HLP (DIN 51524) or HM (ISO 6743/4).
Non-flammable fluids
Phosphate-esters (HFDR fluids) can be used without special precautions. However,
dynamic seals must be replaced with FPM (Viton) seals.
Please contact the Sauer-Danfoss Sales Organization if the PVG 32 valve is to be used
with phosphate-esters.
The following fluids should only be used according to agreement with the Sales
Organization for Sauer-Danfoss:
• Water-glycol mixtures (HFC fluids)
• Water-oil emulsions (HFB fluids)
• Oil-water emulsions (HFAE fluids)
Particle Content, Degree Biodegradable oils

of Contamination PVG 32 valves can be used in systems with rapeseed oil. The use of rapeseed oil is
conditioned by:
• complying with the demands on viscosity, water content, temperature and filtering
etc. (see chapters below and technical data).
• adapting the operating conditions to the directions of the oil supplier.
Before using other biodegradable fluids, please consult the Sauer-Danfoss Organization.
Oil filtration must prevent particle content from exceeding an acceptable level, i.e.,
an acceptable degree of contamination.
Maximum contamination for PVG 32 is 23/19/16 (see ISO 4406. Calibration in accordance
with the ACFTD method).
In our experience a degree of contamination of 23/19/16 can be maintained by using a

filter fineness as described in the next section.
For more information, please see the Sauer-Danfoss literature:

• Design Guidelines for Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness Technical Information, 520L0467
• Hydraulic Fluids and Lubricants Technical Information, 521L0463
• Experience with Bio-Hydraulic Fluids Technical Information, 521L0465.

Other Operating Conditions
Filtration Effective filtration is the most important precondition in ensuring that a hydraulic system
performs reliably and has a long working life. Filter manufacturers issue instructions and
recommendations. It is advisable to follow these.
System filters
Where demands on safety and reliability are very high a pressure filter with bypass and
indicator is recommended. Experience shows that a 10 µm nominal filter (or finer) or
a 20 µm absolute filter (or finer) is suitable.
It is our experience that a return filter is adequate in a purely mechanically operated

valve system.
The fineness of a pressure filter must be selected as described by the filter manufacturer
so that a particle level of 23/19/16 is not exceeded.
The filter must be fitted with pressure gauge or dirt indicator to make it possible to check
the condition of the filter.
In systems with differential cylinders or accumulators the return filter must be sized to
suit the max. return oil flow. Pressure filters must be fitted to suit max. pump oil flow.
Internal filters
The filters built into PVG 32 are not intended to filter the system but to protect important
components against large particles. Such particles can appear in the system as a result
of pump damage, hose fracture, use of quick-couplings, filter damage, starting up,
contamination, etc.
The filter in the electrical actuator PVE protecting the solenoid valves has a mesh of
150 µm.
Bursting pressure drop for internal filters is 25 bar [360 psi].

Order Specification
Order Specification An order form for Sauer-Danfoss PVG 32 hydraulic valve is shown on the next page.
The form can be obtained from the Sauer-Danfoss Sales Organization.
Both the module selection chart on the previous pages and the order form are divided
into fields 0, 1-1-12, 13, 14, 15, a, b, and c.
Each module has its own field:

0:
–– Pump side module PVP
–– Plug for external pilot oil supply PVPC
–– Electrical LS unloading valve PVPX
1-12: Basic valves PVB
13: Main spool PVBS
a: Mechanical actuator PVM (or PVE when option mounted)
c:
–– Cover for mechanical actuation PVMD
–– Cover for hydraulic actuation PVH
–– Electrical actuators PVE (or PVM when option mounted)
b:
–– Shock and suction valve PVLP
–– Suction valve PVLA
14: End plate PVS
15: Assembly kit PVAS
Please state
–– Code numbers of all modules required
–– Required setting (P) for pump side module
–– Required setting of LSA/B pressure limiting valves,
see pressure setting guidance below.
Standard and option assembly

The PVG 32 valve group is assembled the way the module selection chart shows if the
code number for PVM is written in field 'a', and the code number for PVMD, PVE or PVH in
field 'c'.
The valve group is assembled so that the mechanical actuator is mounted on the
opposite end of the basic module, if the code number for PVM is written in field 'c' of the
order form and the code numbers for PVMD, PVE or PVH in field 'a'.
Reordering
The space at the top right-hand corner of the form is for Sauer-Danfoss to fill in.
The code number for the whole of the specified valve group (PVG No.) is entered here.
In the event of a repeat order all you have to do is enter the number Sauer-Danfoss has
given on the initial confirmation of order.

Order Specification
Order Specification Pressure setting limits

(continued) The maximum setting pressure for the pressure limiting valves LSA or LSB depends on
the chosen pressure setting for shock valve PVLP. The maximum values recommended to
avoid interaction can be read in the following table.
The figures in the table have been calculated according to the following expressions:
–– PVLP ≤150 bar: LSA/B ≤ 0.8 × PPVLP
–– PVLP >150 bar: PPVLP - LSA/B ≥ 30 bar.
