Directional spool valve type WE6

Product catalog summary
Directional Spool Valve Type WE6 Overview
The directional spool valve type WE6 is an electrically operated valve used to control fluid flow direction in hydraulic systems. It adheres to directive 2006/95/WE for voltages between 50-250V AC and 75-250V DC. Key components include the housing, solenoids, control spool, centering springs, and manual overrides.

Specifications
  • Voltage: 50-250V AC, 75-250V DC
  • Maximum Operating Pressure: 35 MPa for ports P, A, B; 21 MPa for port T
  • Fluid Viscosity Range: 22.8 to 380 mm²/s
  • Temperature Range: -20°C to +70°C
  • Insulation: IP 65
  • Power Requirement: 30 W (DC)

Operation
The spool is moved by solenoids and returns to a neutral position via centering springs. Manual override is available for emergencies. The valve can be mounted in any position within a hydraulic system.

Technical Data
  • Switching Time: ON up to 60 ms, OFF up to 40 ms
  • Maximum Switching Frequency: 15000 on/h
  • Weight: 1.5 kg with 1 solenoid, 2.1 kg with 2 solenoids

Assembly and Application Requirements
  1. Ensure proper installation and connection by skilled workers.
  2. Ground connection must be secured according to instructions.
  3. Ensure plug-in connectors are tightly secured.
  4. Prevent incidental contact with heated solenoid coils.

Performance Curves
Performance diagrams show flow limits and resistance for various spool types and configurations, essential for understanding valve behavior under different conditions.

Accessories
Spool position monitoring is available with inductive proximity switches (PNP type) for normally open and closed configurations, handling a maximum load current of 200 mA.

Overall and Connection Dimensions
Dimensions are detailed for various valve configurations, including those with one or two solenoids and position switches.

Notes
  • Directional control valves with spool position switches are factory-adjusted and should not be altered by users.
  • In case of faults, the entire valve must be replaced.

Ordering Instructions
The document provides a coding system for ordering valves, highlighting preferred versions for quick delivery. An example code is given: 4WE6 E - 12/G24 N Z4 B08 S1 - AB.

Subplates and Fixing Screws
Subplates must be ordered separately according to catalogue sheet WK 496 480. Various threaded connection options are available, with a specified tightening torque for bolts of 9 Nm.

Example of Application
An example application in a hydraulic system is provided, illustrating the use of subplates and fixing screws.

Contact Information
The document concludes with contact details for PONAR Wadowice S.A., the manufacturer.

Directional spool valve type WE6-1

Directional spool valves type WE6... electrically operated are intended for change in direction of fluid How in a hydraulic system and thus it allows to change direction of movement of a receiver - mostly piston rod of a cylinder or hydraulic motor as well to use functions: on and off. These directional spool valves are used for subplate mounting in any position Directional spool valve is complied with the regulations of directive 2006/95/WE for the following Main elements of directional spool valve type WE6... are: housing (1), solenoids (3), control spool (2), centering springs (A) and manual overrides (5). The spool (2) is shifted when it is moved into one of end positions by the force of solenoid (3) affecting it. The return of the spool into neutral position and centering are secured by the centering springs (A). The shape of the spool (control edge spacing) affects the configuration of connections among the ports: A, In case of emergency, the spool can be shifted manually by means of the override (5) - only for version with manual override. When the situation is anticipated, directional spool valve must be mounted in the way as to be available. 2-position directional spool valve without return springs with detent. The spool (2) is positioned and supported with detent (6), and its shift results from supplying voltage
