4WE6E6X/EW230N9DAL

The 4WE6E6X/EW230N9DAL valve belongs to the WE Directional Spool Valves series from Bosch Rexroth and is used to shift hydraulic circuits in automated machinery. Its duty cycle is 100% ED so the solenoid can remain energized continuously without overheating during long production runs. The coil accepts a nominal voltage of 230 V at 50 or 60 Hz, allowing connection to standard plant power. Corresponding rated currents are 0.23 A at 50 Hz and 0.17 A at 60 Hz, which simplifies fuse selection for each supply frequency. Switch-on power reaches 220 VA to generate the magnetic force needed for reliable spool actuation at start-up. Once the spool is in position, holding power drops to 50 VA to reduce energy consumption while the signal remains on. A 1/2-14 NPT electrical conduit entry labeled DAL provides the wiring interface and supports common industrial fittings. The enclosure carries an IP65 protection class to resist dust ingress and low-pressure water jets in typical factory environments.

The valve is built on size 6, matching manifolds that follow the same cavity dimensions. Its porting pattern is ISO 4401-03-02-0-05 so it mates directly with standardized sub-plates without adapter blocks. Maximum operating pressure for ports a, b, and p is 350 bar, enabling control of high-pressure lines in mobile or stationary equipment. The tank port withstands up to 160 bar, which covers back-pressure situations found in load-holding circuits. Permitted flow through the a or c paths is 60 l/min, supporting medium throughput systems without excessive pressure loss. A concealed manual override identified by code N9 lets maintenance staff shift the spool mechanically when electrical power is unavailable. Installation is allowed in any position, easing integration into compact manifolds or awkward frame locations. The calculated mean time to dangerous failure is 300 years, giving a long statistical service life for safety-related duties.
