externally (externally via port X). Upon actuation of the
pilot control valve, e.g. solenoid "a", the pilot control
spool (10) is moved to the left and thus, the spring
chamber (8) is pressurized with pilot pressure. The spring
chamber (6) remains depressurized.
The pilot pressure acts on the left side of the main control
spool (2) and moves it against the spring (3.1). This
connects port P with B and A with T in the main valve. For pilot oil supply, see page 12 and 13.

The main control spool (2) in the main valve is kept in the
zero position by pressurization of the two front faces. One
centering bush (12) rests on the housing and fixes the
control spool position.
By pressure relief of one front face, the main control
spool (2) is moved to the switching position.
The unloaded control spool face displaces the returning
pilot oil into channel Y (external) via the pilot control valve.

Notes:
The springs (3.1) and (3.2) do not have a return
function in this version. They hold the main control
spool (2) in central position in the depressurized
condition and with horizontal installation.

Notes:
▶▶ Switching times = Contacting at the pilot control valve until

change in the control spool stroke by 95%)
▶▶ The switching times are measured according to ISO 6403
with HLP46, ϑoil = 40 °C ± 5 °C [104 °F ±9 °F].
With different oil temperatures, variations are possible!
▶▶ The switching times were determined using DC solenoids.
They decrease by approx. 20 ms if AC solenoids are used.
▶▶ The shut-off of the solenoids creates voltage peaks, which
can be reduced by the use of suitable diodes.
▶▶ The switching times increase by approx. 30 ms if the
pressure reducing valve "D3" is used.
▶▶ The switching times have been determined under ideal
conditions and may differ in the system, depending on the
application conditions.

Switching time adjustment

The switching time of the main valve (1) is influenced by 7 5

using a twin throttle check valve (2) (type Z2FS 6; data
sheet 27506).

Modification of supply (3) to discharge control (4):

Remove the pilot control valve (5) – The plate (6) to 3 2
accept the seal rings stays in place – Turn the switching 4 6
time adjustment (2) around its longitudinal axis and put it
back, install the pilot control valve (5).

Notice:
The modification may only be performed by authorized
