DATA SHEET - OPERATION MANUAL

APPLICATION
Directional spool valves type WE6… electrically
operated are intended for change in direction of fluid
flow in a hydraulic system and thus it allows to
change direction of movement of a receiver - mostly
piston rod of a cylinder or hydraulic motor as well to
use functions: on and off. These directional spool
valves are used for subplate mounting in any position
in a hydraulic system.
The product is compliant with the regulations of
directive 2014/35/UE.

Main elements of directional spool valve type WE6…
are: housing (1), solenoids (3), control spool (2),
centering springs (4) and manual overrides (5). The
spool (2) is shifted when it is moved into one of end
positions by the force of solenoid (3) affecting it. The
return of the spool into neutral position and centering
are secured by the centering springs (4). The shape of
the spool (control edge spacing) affects the
configuration of connections among the ports: A, B, P
and T. Function of ports:
P - supply port
T - oil return to the tank
A, B - ports for a receiver
In case of emergency, the spool can be shifted
manually by means of the override (5) - only for
version with manual override.
When the situation is anticipated, directional spool valve
must be mounted in the way as to be available.
Version WE6…/OF…- only for spools:
A, C, D, EA, GA, HA, JA, MA, EB, GB, HB,
JB, MB. 2-position directional spool valve
without return springs with detent. The
spool (2) is positioned and supported
with detent (6), and its shift results from
supplying voltage to one solenoid (3).

 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Version WE6…/O… - only for spools: A,
C, D, EA, GA, HA, JA, MA, EB, GB, HB, JB, MB.
2-position directional spool valve without
return springs. The spool is positioned and
supported with attached solenoid. There is
no neutral position as the spool is not
positioned.

 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Only fully functional and operational valve, properly
connected to electrical installation must be used.
Connecting or disconnecting the valve to an electrical
installation must only be carried out by qualified
personnel.
2. Ground connection ( ) must be connected with
protective earth wire (PE ) in supply system according
to appropriate instructions.
3. Solenoid plug shall precisely adhere to socket and shall
be secured with thread bolt screwed in securely in a
place. It is forbidden to operate the valve if the
tightness and suitable clamp of cable in the plug gland
are not ensured.
4. For the …W230 - 50… versions, simultaneous joining
of two solenoids of the same valve should not be
permitted (partial overriding of the valve can overheat
and damage the winding coils).
5. During the period of operation must be kept fluid
viscosity acc. to requirements defined in this Data Sheet
- Operation Manual
6. In order to ensure failure free and safe operation the
following must be checked:
• condition of the electrical connection
• proper working of the valve
• cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid
7. Due to heating of solenoid coils to high temp., the
valve shall be placed in such way to eliminate the risk
of accidental contact with solenoid during operation
or to apply suitable covers acc. to European
standards: PN - EN ISO 13732 - 1 and PN - EN 4413.
8. In order to provide proper tightness of the valve
connection to the hydraulic system, one should keep
the dimensions of the sealing rings, tightening
torques values and valve operation parameters,
specified in this Data Sheet - Operation Manual.
9. Valve with spool position sensor is adjusted at factory
and it is not allowed to change its settings. In case of
any damages of the sensor or valve one must
change complete valve. Inductive sensors cannot be
joined in series.
10. A person that operates the valve must be thoroughly
familiar with this Data Sheet - Operation Manual.

NOTES:
Above operating limits are related to symmetrical flow T (applied to directional control valves with 4 service
through all ports i.e. if the oil flows from port P to port ports). Degree of asymmetry affects adversely the
A, then the same flow rate is from port B to port parameters.
