Spool hydraulic directional control valve WE6AH

manualsolenoid-operated

The WE 6 AH directional control valve principally consists of a valve body (1), a control spool (5) with two centering springs (4) and either one or two operating solenoids (2+ 3), depending on the application. The three-position directional control valves are fitted with two solenoids and two springs. Two-position directional control valves have either one solenoid and one return spring or two solenoids and a detent assembly. The control spool (5) is shifted from its initial position into the required end position by use of the solenoids (2 + 3).This enables the required direction of flow, P to A or B. By de-energizing the solenoid the spool returns to the centre or offset position. The operating solenoids are DC solenoids. For AC supply the solenoids are provided with a rectifier, which is integrated directly into the connectors (6+7) or inside the coil. The connectors can be turned by 90°. By loosening the nut (8) the solenoids can be turned by 360° or replaced without interfering with any seals of the valve. In the case of malfunction or power failure, the spool of the valve can be shifted by manual override (9). The basic surface treatment of the valve body (1) is phosphate coated and the solenoids (2 + 3) are zinc coated.
