Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive technical information on proportional cartridge valves, focusing on their specifications, applications, and operational principles. These valves are essential for precise control of flow, pressure, or direction in hydraulic systems, responding to electric input signals.
Specifications: Various models of proportional valves are detailed, including their flow rates, pressure ratings, and specific applications. Flow ratings are based on a pressure drop of 7 bar (100 psi) for comparison purposes. Rated pressure for most valves is 260 bar (3770 psi), with flow rates varying from 10 l/min to 100 l/min at a 10 bar (145 psi) pressure drop.
Types of Proportional Valves:
  • Flow Control Valves: 2-way, spool-type valves operated by a proportional electromagnetic solenoid actuator, maintaining constant flow using pressure compensation.
  • Pressure Reducing/Relieving Valves: 3-way valves providing controlled output pressure based on electric current, suitable for cylinder position and clutch pressure control.
  • Pressure Relief Valves: Available in normally-open and normally-closed designs, these valves provide relief pressure based on electric current, used for system relief pressure control and cooling fan speed control.
  • Directional Control Valves: Control the direction of hydraulic flow, enhancing system flexibility.
Application Notes: Proportional valves are compatible with PLUS+1 machine control architecture, allowing integration into systems using PLUS+1 GUIDE software. Guidance is provided on using these valves with logic elements for pressure compensation and outlines typical circuits for various applications.
Electrical Requirements: Proportional valves require current-controlled devices, typically using a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal to reduce hysteresis. Maintaining constant current output is crucial for consistent valve performance.
Terms and Definitions: Key terms such as compensator, current control, deadband, and dither are defined to aid understanding of valve operation and performance.
Valve Types:
  • PSV12-NC: Normally-closed, direct-acting, spool-type, non-compensated.
  • PSVP10-NCR: Non-compensated, normally-closed, pilot-operated, poppet-type.
  • PSV10-NO: Normally-open, direct-acting, spool-type, non-compensated.
  • PSVP12-NOR: Non-compensated, normally-open, pilot-operated, poppet-type.
Ordering Information: Details on coil voltage options (12V DC, 24V DC), seal types (Buna-N, Viton), body and port configurations, and coil termination options (Flying Lead, ISO 4400, Deutsch, AMP Jr) are included.
Performance and Operation: The document includes theoretical performance curves, schematics, and cross-sectional views to illustrate valve operation under various conditions, such as different pressure drops and flow rates.
Installation and Dimensions: Detailed dimensions and installation torque specifications are provided for each valve type, ensuring proper assembly and operation within hydraulic systems.
Additional Specifications: A pilot-operated, normally-open, proportional relief valve is detailed, rated for 315 bar (4500 psi) and a flow rate of 50 l/min (13 US gal/min). It features a maximum hysteresis of 3% and uses Viton seals, with options for Buna-N.
Installation Notes: Instructions include installing the O-ring with a torque specification of 3-5 Nm (26-44 lbf*in), with various connector options available.

Quick Reference Cartridge Valves Technical Information Proportional Valves Application Notes TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Application notes Proportional valves Analog Proportional Valves are controlled by electric current, which may be direct current (DC) or a PWM signal. Compensator is a hydraulic component that maintains a constant pressure drop across a fixed or variable orifice. Current is the flow of electricity through a conductor or coil, normally measured in amps (A). Steady-state current flow in an electrical circuit can be calculated by Ohm’s Law, as well as voltage and resistance. Ohm’s Law...
