4WE6J6X/EG24N9K72L/62

The 4WE6J6X/EG24N9K72L/62 valve is produced by Bosch Rexroth and belongs to the WE Directional Spool Valves series. It directs hydraulic flow to actuators, allowing automated machines to shift between work functions. A valve size of 6 supports compact manifolds where space is restricted but moderate flow is required. The ISO 4401-03-02-0-05 (D03) porting pattern lets the unit mount on standard subplates, simplifying replacement and service. Its solenoid is rated for a nominal voltage of 24 V DC so it can be driven directly from common industrial control supplies. During energization the coil draws a rated current of 1.25 A, which defines the sizing of power outputs in the PLC or relay bank. Nominal power consumption remains at 30 W, limiting heat buildup and permitting dense manifold layouts. The electrical connection is an M12x1 four-pole plug equipped with a suppressor diode to reduce inductive voltage spikes when the coil is de-energized. A duty cycle of 100 % allows continuous actuation without enforced cooling pauses, supporting processes that need repeated shifting. Voltage tolerance of ±10 % keeps the valve responsive even when the supply fluctuates within typical plant limits. Insulation class F materials are used in the coil so the winding resists elevated temperatures during prolonged service.

The valve withstands a maximum operating pressure of 350 bar, enabling it to control high-pressure circuits found in presses or injection molding machinery. Maximum flow of 80 l/min ensures adequate volume delivery for medium-sized cylinders while maintaining acceptable pressure loss. Switching frequency is limited to one cycle per second, a specification that protects the spool and seals from excessive wear during rapid cycling. Tank port pressure may reach 210 bar in direct current operation, allowing back-pressure holding without compromising housing integrity. The coil surface temperature can rise to 120 °C, so wiring and nearby components must be selected to survive this thermal envelope. A concealed manual override lets maintenance staff shift the spool mechanically when electrical power is unavailable, yet stays protected against accidental activation. Ingress protection to IP65 blocks dust and low-pressure water jets, permitting installation in outdoor or wash-down locations. Controlled spool travel at the given flow rating helps minimize shock loads in downstream actuators. The one-cycle-per-second limit also assists the PLC programmer in timing commands to avoid overlap. Maintaining tank port pressure within the stated capacity prevents cavitation at return lines.
