Products - Control Valves- MEV
PROPORTIONAL DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE
MEV - Electrical operation

Features

  • Load independent flow control corresponds to the spool-position proportional to the electrical input signal.
  • The pump pressure always corresponds to the user pressure, +3,6,8 or 12 bar (43, 86, 114 or 172 psi) Dp compensator.
  • The built-in pump-unloading valve results in:
       - very low power turned into heat;
       - minimum loading of the prime mover.
  • User speed is precisely controlled under all load conditions.
  • Progressive regulating curve; no pressure peaks when switching; sensitive control even for altern-ating pressures.
  • Constant working speed of differential cylinders at the different regulating flow to the valve by grinding angle.
  • Constant recirculation pressure independent of the number of units.
  • Any limiting of flow for every user port.
  • Load independent switching adjustment, constant acceleration and deceleration.
  • Proportional solenoids with longer life for the armature in the oil (explosion proof solenoids "EEx mII T4 or T5", available).
  • Proportional directional control valves also available as:
       - Manual proportional series MHV
       - Hydraulic proportional series MOV. Any combination of these control options is possible.
  • The sub plate system allows a construction up to 8 control valves.

* For the MEV only valid with
external pilot supply
 
** Due to loss of pressure
c.q. energy conversion into
heat, we recommend the
next largest size related
to a lower Dp compensator.
