6 Auxiliary valves that bolt-on to the bottom flange In a system with a fixed-displacement pump, a typical valve
face U (chapter 7) block contains a 3-way compensator, several directional
valves and the necessary block termination components.
7 Manual override (chapter 5.3) The pump is connected to the valve block by a pressure line.

10 Shaft screw (chapter 11.4)
When one of the directional valves is operated, the load
pressure is signaled through the control line to the 3-way
compensator. The 3-way compensator keeps the pressure
difference between the pressure and control galleries inside
the block at a constant level (the control pressure). The flow
rate to the actuator is therefore always independent of the
load and proportional to the open flow area of the metering
orifice in the directional valve that has been operated.
In a system with a pressure-controlled, variable-displace

directional valves and block termination components) a

If the pump control pressure is preset, the specified flow rate

2 The main components

2.1 Inlet- and end sections for valve
blocks
Every L.8S series valve block requires two block termina
tion components in the form of one inlet section and one end
section. These two components are used for mounting the
block, the block tie bolts pass through them, and they are
provided with hydraulic ports.
2.2 Inlet and intermediate sections

2.2.1 2-way pressure compensator 2.2.2 3-way pressure compensator
The 2-way compensator is a valve that controls a pressure The 3-way compensator is a valve that controls a pressure
differential. It is situated inside the block, before the pressu differential. It is situated between the pressure gallery and
re gallery. In this valve, the inlet pressure is reduced by the the tank or carry-over gallery. The valve keeps the pressure

3.3 Inlet sections with 2-way compensator
3.3.1 Description
These are used to begin the block and have an integral
2-way compensator; optionally with flow cut-off from a pre-
set pressure. A typical application is the parallel operation
of two valve blocks in an LS-system, where only one spool
at a time is operated within each block. Ports P and LS, and
tapped holes for securing the valve block are provided. The
tank connection must be implemented in the intermediate or
end section.

5.2 LD8S-/ LC8S- Directional valves
5.2.1 Description
These directional valve sections with direct-acting ON/OFF
solenoid or proportional solenoid are distinguished by their
adaptability. Auxiliary functions can be bolted on above or
below the valve. To enable this, the appropriate interfaces
must be chosen (see following illustrations).
It is possible to set either the opening point of the control
spool, or any predetermined point on the characteristic.
In the version with an additional manual operator, the flow
rate can be increased.
The setting of the additional manual operator has no effect
on the electrical operation. During electrical operation, the
additional manual operator is not carried along with the sole
noid mechanism. The lever remains in its neutral position,
and thus has no influence on the spool characteristic.
5.2.1.1 Integral auxiliary functions

5.3 LM8S-/ LP8S- Directional valves
5.3.1 Description
These directional valve sections, with two-stage solenoid/
hydraulic control, ON/OFF or proportional, are distin
guished by their slim design and their adaptability. Auxiliary
functions can be bolted on above or below the valve. To en
able this, the appropriate interfaces must be chosen (see
the following illustrations).
Manual overrides are available that act on the pilot stage, or
directly on the main stage (non-following type). End-stops
for the spool (special feature L.8S…/16) make it possible to
limit the maximum actuator flow to any desired value.

6.4 Load control valves
6.4.1 Description
These bolt-on load control valves with integral anti-shock
function ensure load-independent lowering motion at
speeds determined by the inlet flow. The load-control
valves close without leakage when the directional valve is
in its neutral position. The anti-shock valve setting should
preferably be 120% of the highest load pressure. Turning
the adjusting screw in the clockwise direction reduces the
setting, and this can also be used for emergency lowering
of the load.
The valves must be mounted on flange face O.
The following variants are available.

7.1 Individual pressure compensator
without / with flow cut-off
(torque-limiting)
7.1.1 Description
The individual pressure compensators (2-way compen
sators), which bolt-on to the bottom of the directional valve,
keep the p over the spool opening at a constant level, even
with high inlet pressures. This means that the actuator flow
remains constant and load- independent even if another ac
tuator that needs a higher pressure is operated at the same
time. There is an optional flow cut-off function at an ad
justable pressure, above which level the actuator flow goes
to zero. The valves must be mounted on flange face U of the
directional valve.

7.2 Flow limiter without / with individual
pressure compensators
7.2.1 Description
This flow limiters, which bolt-on to the bottom of the direc
tional valve, are another metering orifice in addition to the
one in the spool in the directional valve. This means that the
usual flow rate, which is determined by the size of the spool,
can be reduced or limited to any desired level by means of
a small hand wheel.
Optionally, this function can be combined with an individual
pressure compensator for independent parallel operation,
and also with a flow cut-off function. The valves must be
mounted on flange face U of the directional valve.
This section can not be combined with the manual override
design on the LP8S / LM8S valves.

7.3 Pressure reducing compensators
7.3.1 Description
These pressure reducing compensators, which bolt-on to
the bottom of the directional valve, can be switched be
tween the individual compensator and 3-way pressure re
ducing functions. By energising solenoid Y, the valve is
switched into individual-compensator mode. In pressure-
reducing mode, preselection of the appropriate actuator line
allows a preset pressure to act at port A or B. The pressure
setting can be altered by hand or by electro-proportional so
lenoid (solenoid X).
The valves must be mounted on flange face U of the direc
tional valve.

8.2 Priority section
8.2.1 Description
Intended for the end of a valve block, the LU8SPUO/PUP…
priority section includes a priority function for the external
control system supplied by the ports PP and LS, and the sur
plus flow side.
In the under-supply range (pump flow < total flow needed by
the valve block), the surplus flow side will receive only a por
tion of what it needs, or possibly (pump flow < priority flow
setting) no flow whatsoever.
The priority side can also be equipped with a pressure relief
valve that ensures a priority flow cut-off when the pressure
setting is reached. For oscillation-prone applications, a
damping element (e.g. An accumulator) can be connected
to a port specially provided for this purpose. Preferred appli
cations are in LS systems.

8.5 Load control valve with float position
8.5.1 Description
For terminating the block, this has an integral load-holding
valve with anti-shock function for port A. The two seat valves
in A and B to create the float position. When the directional
valve is in the neutral position, actuator line A is shut-off with
zero leakage and protected from unacceptably-high pres
sure peaks by an anti-shock function.
The mating directional valve is the last directional section in
the block and must be a special version e.g. /02 (LC8S) or
/24 (LP8S, LH8S) with spool type 4E. A typical application

8.6 Safety valve for electro-hydraulic
steering systems
8.6.1 Description
Block end section as safety valve for electro−hydraulic
steering systems. When the electro−hydraulic steering is
activated by energising the attached proportional valve
(e.g. LC8S), the two 3/2 directional valves are also ener
gised at the same time. As a result, the steering Orbitrol is
disconnected. In automatic mode, if manual (i.e. emer
gency) steering corrections have to be made without first
switching off automatic mode, a pressure develops in R or
L, depending on the direction the Orbitrol is turned.
This pressure passes through the shuttle valve to a pres
sure switch. The signal from the pressure switch cancels the
automatic function and all solenoids are de−energised.
Thus, the Orbitrol is directly connected to the steering cylin
der and the normal manual steering function is active.

9 Fluid
The proportional directional valves require fluid with a mini
mum cleanliness level of ISO 4406 code 20/18/15.
We recommend the use of fluids that contains anti-wear ad
ditives for mixed-friction operating conditions. Fluids with
out appropriate additives can reduce the service life of
valves.
The user is responsible for maintaining and regularly check
ing the fluid quality.

To assemble the individual valve sections with assured 3 pcs. shaft screws M8 x ...... (required length in mm)
functional reliability, 3 shaft screws and hex. nuts are neces 3 or 6 pcs. (depending on block configuration)
sary. Maximum tightening torque = 30 Nm. Tighten in 3 Seal-Lock sealing nut M8,
steps of 6, 16 and 30 Nm. Part No: 100280470
Calculating the shaft screw length:

Inlet section + 48 mm (LP,LM,LH =37,5 mm) x no.
of directional valve sections + width of the end sec
tion
Example:
29+(48x2)+37,5+33,5 = 194 mm
For ordering purposes, always round up to the cal
culated shaft screw length to the next 10 mm.
In our example, we therefore need to order 3 pcs.
shaft screws á M8 x 200 mm.
