General Information and Functional Description

General Information and Functional Description

The LX-6 is a proportional directional control valve according to the load-sensing principle pre compensated.

The nominal flow rate to the working ports A and B is 160 l/min. The main spool 2.1 determines the flow direction and magnitude of flow rate.

Pressure control valves 2.4.3 and 2.4.4 are providing shifting pressure to the left and right side of the main spool 2.1 to control its position. The level of electric current determines the level of pilot pressure and therefore the position of the main spool.

Adjustable stroke limiters 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 can be set mechanically to limit the maximum flow rate to the working ports A and B.

The pressure compensator 2.7 keeps the flow rate to the actuator constant, even if the system pressure varies. Pressure changes at the pump or working ports A and B are compensated for each working section individually.

The maximum operating pressure can be adjusted by LS pressure limitation for working ports A and B separately.

Shock/anti-cavitation valves 2.3.2 protect the working ports A and B from pressure peaks. Anti-cavitation valves 2.3.1 protect the system from cavitation.

Shuttle valves are integrated into the working sections to signal the highest load pressure for the valve stack to the inlet plate or variable displacement pump.
