Compact Directional Valves - Non-compensated and Post-compensated - Directional elements ED Series

ED4-P1

Valve element with direct proportional control of spool. Control spool operated by solenoid with removable coils.

In the de-energized condition, the control spool is held in the central position by return springs.

Manual override (push-button or screw type) available as option.

Plug-in connectors available: EN 175301-803 (Was DIN 43650) and DT04-2P (Deutsch).

In neutral position, the valves cross section are as follows:

E_I ≥ 20% of nominal cross section.

E_S ≥ 2% of nominal cross section.

RE18301-16-02

The sandwich plate design directional valve elements L8081… are compact direct operated proportional solenoid valves which control the start, the stop, the direction and the quantity of the oil flow. These elements basically consist of a stackable housing (1) with a control spool (2), one or two solenoids (3), and one or two return springs (4).

Energized by an electronic feed regulator, each solenoid (3) displaces the control spool (2) from its neutral-central position “0” proportionally to the current received; a regulated oil flow P to A, or P to B, is achieved. Once the solenoid is de-energized, the return spring (4) pushes the spool thrust washer (5) back against the housing and the spool returns in its neutral-central position.

Each coil (3) is fastened to the solenoid tube by a ring nut (6). A pin (7) allows to push the spool (2) in emergency conditions, when the solenoid cannot be energized, like in case of voltage shortage.

Supply: yellow LED, lit up with power ON.

Off Set: minimum current adjustment. Adjust solenoid current so that the desired minimum value is obtained. Clockwise rotation increases current.

Ramp up: Ramping up time adjustment.

Ramp down: Ramping down time adjustment.

For longer ramping times, turn potentiometers clockwise; for shorter ramping times, turn the potentiometers counter-clockwise.

Full load current: Maximum current adjustment. Adjust solenoid current so that the desired maximum value is obtained (up to 2A). Clockwise rotation increases current.

Frequency adjustment: it is possible to set the PWM frequency obtaining the desired control sensitivity. After removing the external plastic cover, turn the adjusting screw; clockwise rotation increases frequency from 100 to 500 Hz.
