Product catalog summary
Features
The document outlines the features of directional spool valves available in 4/3-, 4/2-, or 3/2-way versions. These valves can be actuated electro-hydraulically (type WEH) or hydraulically (type WH) and are designed for subplate mounting with an ISO 4401 porting pattern. They include options for spring or pressure centering, wet-pin DC or AC solenoids, manual override, switching time adjustment, preload valve, and stroke setting.
Ordering Code
This section provides detailed specifications for selecting the appropriate valve configuration, including pressure ratings, actuation types, size, control spool return, pilot oil flow, switching time adjustment, electrical connection, spool position monitoring, stroke setting, throttle insert, preload valve, pressure reducing valve, and seal material.
Symbols
Symbols for valves with 2 and 3 spool positions are provided, illustrating various configurations and actuation types to help understand the flow paths and control mechanisms.
Function and Section
The document explains the function of WEH and WH valve types. WEH is an electro-hydraulic directional spool valve controlling flow start, stop, and direction, consisting of a main valve, control spool, return springs, and a pilot control valve with solenoids. WH is hydraulically actuated with a similar structure but different actuation method.
Pilot Oil Supply
Details on pilot oil supply include internal and external supply options, emphasizing the importance of proper pilot oil supply for valve operation.
Technical Data
Technical specifications include a maximum operating pressure of 350 bar and a maximum flow of 1100 l/min. The document advises consulting for applications outside specified values.
Characteristic Curves and Performance Limits
Performance data for various valve sizes (NG10, NG16, NG25, NG32) are presented, measured under specific conditions, helping assess valve performance under different operational scenarios.
Dimensions and Mounting Options
Detailed dimensions for different valve sizes are provided, along with mounting options and stroke settings, crucial for installation and integration into hydraulic systems.
Switching Time Adjustment and Preload Valve
Options for switching time adjustment and preload valve configurations are discussed, offering flexibility in valve operation and performance tuning.
Project Planning Information
The document concludes with project planning information and further references, aiding in the comprehensive understanding and application of the valves in hydraulic systems.
Overview
This document provides technical specifications and performance data for Bosch Rexroth AG's directional spool valves, specifically the WEH and WH series, including detailed information on operating pressures, flow rates, and valve dimensions.
Specifications
  • Operating Pressure: Valves operate at maximum pressures ranging from 70 to 350 bar, depending on configuration and symbol used.
  • Flow Rates: Maximum flow rates (qV max) are specified for both 2-spool and 3-spool position valves, with values varying based on operating pressure and valve symbol.
  • Spring and Hydraulic End Positions: Details on spring and hydraulic end positions for various valve symbols, indicating maximum flow rates and pressures at which these positions are maintained.
Performance Limits
  • Performance limits are determined under specific conditions, including solenoid operating temperature and voltage variations.
  • Important notices highlight that performance limits apply to dual flow directions and may be lower with single flow directions.
Characteristic Curves
  • ∆p-qV characteristic curves are provided for different valve symbols, showing the relationship between flow rate and pressure differential.

Stroke Setting and Mounting Options
Detailed specifications for stroke settings and mounting options for directional spool valves, specifically versions "W.H 22" and "W.H 25", including dimensions in millimeters for various spool positions and valve sides (A and B).
Switching Time Adjustment
The switching time of the main valve is influenced by a twin throttle check valve. The document outlines the procedure for modifying supply to discharge control, emphasizing that modifications should only be performed by authorized specialists or at the factory.
Pressure Differential and Preload Valve
Discusses the pressure differential characteristics of preload valves, necessary for valves with depressurized circulation and internal pilot oil supply, providing part numbers for preload valves based on valve size and component series.
Project Planning Information
Adherence to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC is required. Additional data sheets are referenced for further information on MTTFD values, shock and vibration loads, and other technical specifications.
Further Information and References
Lists various data sheets for additional information on related components and systems, including hydraulic fluids, reliability characteristics, and assembly instructions, along with contact information for Bosch Rexroth AG.
