Vickers DG4V-5-6CJ-M-U-H6-20 Hydraulic Control Valve with DGMFN-5-X-A2W-B2W-30

The Vickers DG4V is a series of directional control valves manufactured by Vickers, a brand that is part of Eaton’s Hydraulics Division. The DG4V series is one of the most popular lines of directional control valves, widely used in hydraulic systems for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid. These valves are primarily designed to direct fluid to various parts of a hydraulic circuit, controlling the movement of actuators, cylinders, or motors in machines and systems.

Overview of the Vickers DG4V Series:

The DG4V series is often referred to as a 4-way, 2-position valve, though there are variants available for different configurations, including solenoid-operated and manual options.

Key Features and Components:

1. Directional Control Valve:

   • The DG4V series is a 4-way directional valve, meaning it has four ports to control the direction of hydraulic fluid flow in a system.
   • It can have 2 or more positions, typically used to direct fluid to different parts of a circuit (e.g., extending and retracting a cylinder).

2. Solenoid Operated:

   • Many DG4V valves are solenoid-operated, meaning they use a solenoid coil to shift the valve spool to direct fluid flow. This allows for automated, remote control of the valve through electrical signals.

3. Modular Design:

   • The DG4V series features a modular design, making it easy to adapt for different applications. The valve’s design can be customized with various actuators, ports, pressure ratings, and mounting options.

4. Pressure Control:

   • Some variants of the DG4V series include pressure-compensated features or can be equipped with auxiliary components to control system pressure, which is essential for efficient hydraulic operation.

5. High Flow Capacity:

   • The DG4V valves are designed for medium to high-flow hydraulic circuits, which makes them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

6. Durability and Reliability:

   • Vickers’ DG4V series is known for its reliability in demanding industrial environments, including high pressures and temperatures. These valves are engineered to have a long service life, reducing maintenance needs.

Applications:

• Industrial Machinery: Used in hydraulic systems that control the movement of parts or tools, such as in presses, injection molding machines, and packaging equipment.
• Construction Equipment: Often found in mobile machinery like excavators, cranes, and bulldozers to control hydraulic actuators and cylinders.
• Agricultural Equipment: Used in tractors, harvesters, and other equipment that require hydraulic actuation.
• Material Handling: For controlling conveyors, lifts, or other automated systems that rely on hydraulic power for movement.
• Offshore and Marine: These valves are also used in offshore drilling rigs and other marine equipment where hydraulic fluid control is critical.
