4WE6E6X/EG24N9DK24L AN

The 4WE6E6X/EG24N9DK24L AN directional spool valve is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth within the WE Directional Spool Valves series. It shifts hydraulic flow between work ports in automated power units and is sized for compact manifolds. A nominal size of 6 sets the envelope for cavity dimensions so it can be installed in space-restricted blocks. The valve passes up to 80 l/min in direct current service, enabling medium-flow circuits on machine tools and presses. It resists pressures to 350 bar at ports p, A, and B, supporting high-pressure actuation without external intensifiers. Return flow can be routed safely because the tank port tolerates 210 bar. ANSI B93.9 porting keeps the subplate interface consistent with North American layouts. A concealed N9 manual override allows hand shifting during commissioning while preventing inadvertent use in operation, and the override must not be engaged when tank pressure exceeds 50 bar. Continuous duty at 100 % ED lets the coil remain energized indefinitely without thermal derating.

In electrical terms the valve coil is rated for 24 V DC, so it ties directly into common machine control buses, and a ±10 % voltage window maintains reliable pull-in when supply lines fluctuate. Nominal power is 30 W and the current draw of 1.25 A defines the load seen by the control output stage. Maximum switching frequency of 4.2 cycles per second limits command signals to a rate the armature can follow without overheating. An M12x1 four-pole connector speeds installation by combining power and pilot signals in a single keyed plug. The enclosure meets IP65, giving full dust protection and sealing against low-pressure water jets for use near coolant spray. These characteristics work with the earlier hydraulic data to create an electromagnetically actuated spool valve that can be powered continuously, switched several times a second, and mounted quickly in harsh industrial environments.
