Ordering code
1)
For the connection to an AC supply a DC solenoid must
be used which is controlled via a rectifier (see table on the left).
For individual connections a large plug-in connector with
integrated recifier can be used (separate order, see page 3).
2)
Plug-in connectors must be ordered separately
(see page 3).
Attention!
The performance limits on page 7 must be taken into account!

In order to ensure correct functioning, care must be taken to
ensure that the pressure chamber of the solenoid is filled with
oil.
The force of solenoid (2) acts on control spool (3) and switches it from
its rest position to the required end position. This then permits flow from
P to A and B to T or P to B and A to T.
When solenoid (2) is de-energized the control spool (3) is returned to its
rest position by return spring (4).
A manual override (6), optional, enables the control spool (3) to be
moved without energization of the solenoids.
Adjustable spool switching time (only with DC solenoids)
The optional installation of a throttle screw (7) or orifice (8) - see below
- offers the possibility of increasing switching time
with throttle screw model 5-.WE 10 ../..CG../C.. (7)
with orifice model 5-.WE 10 ../..CG../A.. (8)
5-chamber directional valves of model 5-.WE are solenoid operated
directional spool valves. They control the start, stop and direction of flow
with the additional option of adjusting the spool switching time.
These directional valves basically consist of housing (1), one or two
solenoids (2), control spool (3), as well as one or two return springs (4).
Two spring chambers are connected by a drilling (5). As the spool switches,
the flow is displaced from one spring chamber to the other via this
passage. If the area of this connecting bore is reduced by an orifice, the
switching time changes accordingly.
The T channels are isolated from the spring chambers. Switching pulses
do not affect control spool (3) and thus, soft switching of the spool can
be achieved.
In the de-energized condition, control spool (3) is held in the central or
initial position by return springs (4) (except for impulse spools). The control
spool (3) is actuated by wet pin solenoids (2).
Model 5-4WE 10 E3X/CG24N9K4/C..
Functional description, section
Without throttle screw/
without orifice
Model 5-.WE 10../..CG../..
With the installation of orifices, spool switching time may be lengthened
by more than 100 ms. The actual time is dependent upon individual
system parameters (e.g. pressure, flow and viscosity).
When reto-fitting or modifying a throttling system, care must be taken
that the fluid volume in the spring chambers and the connecting bore
(5) is retained, as this is a prerequisite for the smooth operation of the
switching time adjustment.

This version is a directional valve with 2 switched positions and 2
solenoids without detent. There is no defined spool position in the de-
energized condition.
Model 5-.WE 10.3X/OFC... (impulse spool), with detent
(only possible with symbols A, C and D)
This version is a directional valve with 2 detented switched positions
and 2 solenoids. Thus, the spool is held in the last switched position,
permanent energization of the solenoid is not required.
Throttle insert (model 5-.WE 10.3X/.../B..)
The use of a throttle insert is required if, due to the operating conditions,
flows can occur during the switching process which are larger than the
performance limits of the valve allow.
The orifice is to be inserted into the P channel of the directional valve.

If only one direction of flow is required, for example, when a 4-way valve has
one port plugged, or with unbalanced flows from large rod cylinders, the
permissible flow in critical cases can be considerably lower. The A or B spool
(3-way) can be used as an approximation of the limited flow performance.
Because of silting, the shifting function of the valves is dependent upon
filtration. To obtain the maximum flow values shown, full filtration of 25 m
is recommended. The flow forces acting within the valve also influence
performance. In 4-way valves, the data provided is for applications with 2
directions of flow (flow from P to A and an equal, simultaneous return from
B to T), (see table).
