PVE Series 7 — Electro-Hydraulic Actuators

PVEH

The PVEH actuator is a proportional control actuator with closed-loop spool control primarily used to
control work functions with high performance requirements.
PVEH

• 11-32 VDC multi-voltage power supply

• Analog voltage control signal 25–75% of supply voltage
• Standard PVE pilot oil pressure of 13.5 bar [196 psi]
• DEUTSCH, AMP or DIN/Hirschman connectors
• LED indicating error state and active or passive fault monitoring
• Float (-F), Direction Indication output (-DI), Neutral Power-Off (-NP), Spool Position output (-SP) or
0-10 VDC control signal (-U) functionality

P109148

The PVE functionality includes an electric circuit with a closed-loop logic. An embedded micro-controller
processes the signal voltage and the LVDT feedback signal and regulates the solenoid valves accordingly.
A continuous modulation of solenoid valves NC1 and NO4 together with a simultaneous energization of
NO2 and de-energization of NC3 causes the main spool to move to the right direction and vice versa.
When the main spool is stroked to the far right, a simultaneous energization of both NO2 and NO4 and
de-energization of both NC1 and NC3 balances the main spool in its stroked position. An emergency stop
activated when the spool is stroked will cause all solenoid valves to de-energize causing the main spool
