4WE6E6X/EG24N9K73L

The 4WE6E6X/EG24N9K73L directional spool valve belongs to the WE Directional Spool Valves series and is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth. It switches hydraulic flow paths to actuators in automated machinery. The valve handles line pressures up to 350 bar on pressure and work ports, allowing service in high-pressure circuits. A maximum flow rate of 80 l/min defines the throughput it can direct without excessive pressure loss. Mounting follows the ISO 4401-03-02-0-05 porting pattern, so it fits standard sub-plates. The solenoid system operates at 24 V DC, draws 1.25 A, and consumes 30 W, supplying the energy needed to shift the spool under load. Voltage may vary ±10 % without loss of performance, simplifying power-supply selection. Continuous duty at 100 % ED keeps the coils within temperature limits during nonstop cycling. Control wiring terminates on an M12×1 four-pole connector that supports quick interchange in modular panels. An IP65 enclosure rating protects internal parts from dust and water jets during wash-down service.

The model includes a concealed manual override so technicians can reposition the spool during commissioning or power loss while keeping the housing profile flush. Electrical actuation supports a switching frequency of 4.2 cycles per second in direct-current service, enabling rapid directional changes in servo-type applications. Tank port pressure is permitted up to 210 bar, preventing back-pressure damage when return lines become restricted. Mean time to dangerous failure is calculated at 300 years, contributing to high system availability in safety-rated installations. The assembly with two solenoids weighs 1.95 kg, keeping manifold loads low and easing maintenance handling. Because the override is hidden inside the enclosure, no external caps are required and the seal integrity remains intact. The combination of moderate mass and sealed construction also simplifies transport and installation in confined control blocks, confirming mechanical robustness, fast response capability, and long service life within compact dimensions.
