Function and configuration
Valves of type Z4WEH are directional spool valves with electro-hydraulic actuation. They control the start and stop of a flow.
These directional valves basically consist of the housing (1), main control spool (2), one or two return springs (3.1 and 3.2), and pilot valve (4).
Main control spool (2) in the main valve is held by the springs in the neutral or initial position. In the initial position, the two spring chambers (6) and (8) are connected to tank via pilot valve (4). The pilot valve is supplied with pilot oil via pilot channel (7). The pilot oil supply can be provided internally or externally (externally via port X in the sandwich plate).
When the pilot valve is operated, e.g. solenoid "a", pilot spool (5) is pushed to the left, and consequently spring chamber (8) is pressurized to pilot pressure. Spring chamber (6) remains with no pressure. The pilot pressure acts on the left side of main control spool (2) and pushes it against spring (3.1). As a result of this, the connections on the component side and on the plate side are opened according to the relevant symbols.
When the solenoid is de-energized, pilot spool (5) returns to the initial position. Pressure chamber (8) is connected to the tank.
The pilot oil is drained from spring chamber (8) internally via pilot valve (4) into channel T (Y).
An optional manual override (9) allows pilot spool (5) to be moved without energization of the solenoid.
Throttle insert
The use of throttle insert (11) is required, if the pilot oil supply in channel P of the pilot valve is to be limited.
Throttle insert (11) is to be installed in channel P of the pilot valve.
Valves of type Z4WH are directional spool valves with hydraulic actuation. They control the start and stop of a flow.
These directional valves basically consist of valve housing (1), main control spool (2), one or two return springs (3.1) and (3.2) in the case of valves with spring return or spring centering, as well as pilot oil sub plate (10).
Main control spool (2) is operated directly by pressurization.
Main control spool (2) is held by springs in the neutral or initial position. The pilot oil is supplied and drained externally.
