4/3 proportional directional valves

hydraulic pilot operated

P4WEH 10 to 32
DESCRIPTION FEATURES
The P4WEH is a pilot operated  High nominal flow due to optimized, cast manifold
proportional directional valve, which  Low hysteresis due to precision machining of moving parts
combines directional control with  Easy interchangeability due to internationally standardised interface
speed control of the consumer. ISO 4401
The controlled volume flow is
proportional to the electrical input
signal on valve electronics.
According to the input signal, the
magnet generates a control
pressure, which shifts hydraulically
the main piston against a spring. In
this process, cross-sections are
released, which determine the size
of the volume flow depending on the
pressure difference.

FUNCTION SECTION VIEW
The P4WEH is a hydraulic pilot
operated, proportional 4 directional 3 1
valve. The volume flow is controlled
continuously (proportionally) to the
electrical input signal at the solenoid 2
coil.
These valves essentially consist of 3
the pilot stage (pressure regulating
valve) and the main stage
(directional valve). The pilot stage
consists of the valve housing (1), a
control piston with 2 pressure
measuring pins (2) and two
proportional solenoids (3).
The main stage consists of the
6
housing (4), a main piston (5) and a
4
centring spring (6) acting in both
directions.
The pressure supply of the valve
results from the interface according
to ISO 4401. The external pilot 5
supply and drain result from port X
and Y to the pilot valve. The
regulated control pressure is
proportional to the stroke of the main
stage. If one of the two solenoids is
energized, the pilot releases the
connection to control port A or B and
regulates the control pressure
according to the set solenoid current.

The main piston shifts until a balance

of force is reached by pressurizing
one of the two sides of the main
piston via control pressure. The
desired connection PABT or PBAT is
released.

If the valve is subsequently relieved

of pressure, the centring spring
returns the main piston to neutral
again.
P4WEH valves are available in two
different versions, which differ in their
interface. Due to this difference, the ACCESSORIES
valve versions are not compatible Designation Part no.
