The document provides a technical description of a direct-acting, pressure-compensated hydraulic flow control system, designed to control flow proportionally in response to electrical current changes, using SPxx-20x flow control valve, ECxx-32 pressure compensator, and HCVxx-20 check valve.
The system features a two-way, poppet-type valve available in normally closed (SPxx-20) and normally open (SPxx-21) configurations, with options for manual override and electronic control integration.
In the de-energized state, all ports are blocked. When energized, the system allows flow to the work port (WP), maintaining consistent flow output through a compensator spool.
Performance charts illustrate flow versus pressure and current for various configurations of the SPxx-20 and SPxx-20A valves, demonstrating consistent flow output despite pressure changes.
Recommended applications include conveyor drives, actuator positioning, and lifting functions. A closed-loop current controller is advised for constant current delivery, and SP valves should be paired with a compensator for consistent operation.
Detailed ordering information for different configurations of the SPxx-20 and SPxx-20A valves is provided, including flow ratings and compensator options.

- The SPxx-47C and SPxx-47D valves operate at a pressure of up to 241 bar/3500 psi and 240 bar/3500 psi respectively.
- Flow ratings vary based on spring size, with the SP08-47C handling up to 21.6 lpm (5.7 gpm) and the SP08-47D up to 24.6 lpm (6.5 gpm).
- Hysteresis is less than 7%, and the coil duty rating allows continuous operation up to 115% of nominal voltage.
- Oil viscosity recommended is 32 cSt/150 sus at 40°C (104°F).
- In the neutral position, the SPxx-47C blocks oil at all ports, while the SPxx-47D connects ports A and B to the tank to prevent cavitation.
- When energized, flow is directed from port P to either work port A or B, depending on which coil (S1 or S2) is powered.
- The ECxx-32 component ensures a constant pressure drop across the metering spool, maintaining consistent flow regardless of load conditions.
- Port reliefs (RV08-20) protect against sudden shock loads.
- Anti-cavitation check valves (CV08-20) ensure the cylinder remains filled with oil.
- Load sense check valves (HCV06-20) allow multiple work sections to be connected in parallel.
- Cartridges are voltage interchangeable and easy to service, with efficient wet-armature construction.
- For cylinder applications, connect the base end to work port B.
- SP Series valves should not be used as primary load-holding valves; use counterbalance or dual-pilot-operated check valves if load-holding is required.
- Mount the valve below the reservoir oil level to prevent air instability, or use a check valve at the manifold outlet.
- Use a closed-loop current controller to maintain constant current delivery to the coil.
This document provides a detailed technical analysis of hydraulic control systems, focusing on the use of PE16-S67C and PE16-S67D directional control valves in load-sensing applications.
The PE16-S67C and PE16-S67D are three-position, four-way proportional valves used in closed center, pressure-compensated load-sensing circuits.
The directional control circuit consists of a PE16-S67C valve, an EC16-32 flow regulator/pressure compensator, and two EHPR98-T35 reducing/relieving valves.
- Minimize back pressure at port D when using an EHPR valve to ensure full valve shifting.
- Match pilot pressures to the PE spool requirements to avoid excessive deadband.
- Use pilot-operated check valves or counterbalance valves for low work port leakage applications.
- Optimal control signal is 100 Hz PWM at maximum dither level.
- Ideal for double-acting cylinder and motor applications.
- Continuous duty unitized, molded coil or weather-tight IP69-rated E-coil.
- Hardened parts for long life and efficient wet-armature construction.

- Operating Pressure: 240 bar/3500 psi.
- Flow Rating: Up to 83.4 lpm/22 gpm for PE16-S67C and 77.7 lpm/20.5 gpm for PE16-S67D.
- Hysteresis: Less than 7%.
- Coil Duty Rating: Continuous up to 115% of nominal voltage.
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and applying PE16-S67C and PE16-S67D valves in hydraulic systems, providing essential specifications, operational theory, and application tips to ensure optimal performance.
This document provides technical specifications, performance data, and application guidelines for HydraForce hydraulic valves, specifically the PE12-S67D, PE12-S67H, and PE16-S67H models.
