 Other Operating Conditions

Danfoss Spool Valves are designed for
fluids having lubricating properties that are
compatible with the fluoroelastomer seals.
Low viscosity fluids increase internal
leakage, high viscosity fluids increase
pressure drop through the valve. High
temperatures can result in seal hardening
and failure. They also can result in sticky
components. Contaminated oil is
detrimental to the operating life of the
valve as well as other circuit components.
From hydraulic motors, pumps, actuators and hydrostatic
steering components, to proportional hydraulics and
electronics, Danfoss components redefine the leading edge.

Oil The main duty of the oil in a hydraulic
Mineral Oil system is to transfer energy, but it also
must lubricate the moving parts in
hydraulic components, protect them
against corrosion, and transport dirt
particles and heat out of the system.
It is therefore important to choose the
correct oil with the correct additives. This
gives problem-free operation and long
working life.
For systems with spool valves, Danfoss
recommends the use of mineral-based
hydraulic oil.
Viscosity is the most important property of
a hydraulic fluid. It measures how the fluid
resists flow. Thick, dense oil has high Designers and manufacturers of monoblock valves and
viscosity; thin oil has low viscosity. Ideally, stack valves with an array of spool types and actions, port

Return Filters system performs reliably and has a long
working life. Filter manufacturers issue
instructions and recommendations. It is
advisable to follow them.
Where demands for safety and reliability
are very high, a pressure filter with bypass
and indicator is recommended.
Experience shows that a 10 µ nominal
filter (or finer) or a 20 µ absolute filter
(or finer) is suitable. The fineness of a
pressure filter must be selected as
described by the filter manufacturer so that
a particle level of 19/16 is not exceeded.
It is our experience that a return filter is
adequate in a purely mechanically
operated valve system. Recommended
In our experience a degree of contamination
of 19/16 can be maintained by using a filter
as described in the next section.

properly sized for your system and
cleaned on a regular basis. If practical, the
hydraulic system should include a warning
device which signals when the filter is
dirty, preventing the filter from going into a
bypass condition. This will help ensure
maximum component life and efficiency.
The filter must be fitted with a pressure
gauge or dirt indicator to make it possible
to check the condition of the filter. Our hydraulic gear pumps, motors and cost-effective
