Directional control valves

The directional control valves directs the flow of working fluid into various chambers of the actuators within the hydraulic system. The pressurized oil flow moves the working components of equipment and special machinery, such as machines, presses, manipulators, and other similar devices.

The primary component in most directional control valves is the control element, which in 95% of cases is a spool valve. The advantages of spool-type directional control valves include reliability, durability, cost-effectiveness, ease of manufacturing, and interchangeability. Directional control valves with seat-type control elements (such as balls, cones, or discs) are less common due to their lower flow capacity and higher cost.ть.

The main task of a directional control valves is to correctly direct the fluid flow to all necessary parts, elements, or components within the entire hydraulic system.

Directional control valve transfers hydraulic power from the source (pumps), which pressurizes the hydraulic fluid flow to the actuator (hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic motor).

Based on the received data (proportional or discrete electrical signal), the directional control valve determines how to distribute the flow between hydraulic cylinders, motors, and other devices.

 

Types of Directional Control Valves

Directional control valves are classified by the type of control applied to the shut-off and control element. Ranked by decreasing frequency of use in hydraulic drives:

— Manual;

— Electromagnetic;

— Electro-hydraulic;

— Electromagnetic with manual override;

— Hydraulic;

— Mechanical;

— Pneumatic.

Depending on the tasks the hydraulic system needs to solve, combined types of directional control valve control are often used.

 

Operating Principle

The directional control valve functions based on the configuration of the edges on the spool valve body, which, in the appropriate working positions, connect and separate the channels A, B, P, and T. The distribution scheme is selected according to the required operating modes of the hydraulic system..

When held in a neutral position by return springs, the spool valve either unloads the system or keeps the flow of working fluid closed. When acted upon by one of the control types, the spool moves to a working position and connects the corresponding channels, through which the fluid movement activates the actuators in the required direction. When the control influence on the shut-off and control element ceases, it returns to its original position. 

For additional safety, directional control valves are often equipped with limit switches to monitor the spool valve position.

 

Example of Hydraulic Cylinder Control

In the provided diagram, in position "0" of the electromagnetic control, the fluid flow from the hydraulic pump to the cylinder is blocked. In position "b", fluid under pressure from channel P flows through channel A into the piston chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. The rod extends, and at the same time, oil from the rod chamber is drained from channel B through channel T into the hydraulic tank. When the spool of the directional control valve is switched to position «a» the rod chamber is filled, and the working fluid from the piston chamber is drained — thus retracting the cylinder rod.

 

Connection to the Hydraulic System

The main types of connection are face (plate) and threaded.

Face-mounted directional control valves have a standardized nominal diameter (ND) and port arrangement. The port side of the directional control valve body is tightly aligned with the corresponding port configuration on the side of the mounting plate or modular valve. The mated surfaces of the plates are tightly bolted together, most commonly found in machine tool hydraulic drives.

Monoblock and sectional directional control valves with threaded ports are connected by high-pressure hoses or pipes, most commonly used on tractors, graders, manipulators, and similar special machiner.

Cartridge mounting refers to normally-open and normally-closed directional control valves, which are screwed into mounting plates via the threaded part of their body.

Depending on the number of actuators (operations), the system must have a corresponding number of channels. For this purpose, face-mounted directional control valves are assembled in sets on a mounting plate, while threaded directional control valves are either manufactured with multiple spools in a single body or assembled from sections. Each spool can have an individual configuration in such assemblies.

 

How Does a Directional Control Valve Work?

A directional control valve is a component within a hydraulic system that controls the direction of fluid flow. The directional control valve receives hydraulic fluid and directs it to the necessary actuators (such as pistons, motors, and mechanisms). This component can be controlled by either an operator or an electronic control unit.

Types of Directional Control Valves?

Different types of directional control valves and their descriptions are listed in the table:

Type of Directional Control Valve

Description

Monoblock

All necessary components are housed within a single body

Multiblock

Comprised of multiple blocks that work together

Two-position

Used to control two states of a system, such as forward/backward movement

Three-position

Used to control three states of a system, such as forward/backward movement, and stopping at a desired position

Proportional

Provides maximum precision in movements

Where to Buy a Directional Control Valve?

A smart choice is to purchase a directional control valve from MOTORIMPEX, as the company provides licensed equipment and has extensive experience in installation, operation, and maintenance, whether as a standalone unit or integrated into complete hydraulic systems.
