180L0255

The 180L0255 solenoid valve is part of the VDHT Solenoid Valves series from Danfoss and serves as an on-off element for hydraulic automation circuits. With a 2/2 way layout, the unit provides a single flow path that opens or closes according to coil status, and its normally closed configuration keeps the system isolated when de-energized to prevent unintended motion. A 3/4 in inlet port feeds the valve, while a 1/2 in outlet port discharges fluid after actuation, setting a deliberate pressure balance between supply and downstream equipment. Both ports use NPT threads, simplifying installation into standard pipe runs and minimizing leak risk in machinery manifolds.

System designers can pass up to 60 l/min through the 180L0255, a nominal flow that meets medium-duty hydraulic demands without oversizing line components. The forged housing withstands 160 barg, so it remains stable under high-pressure starts and stops, and it endures media temperatures to 90 °C for compatibility with warm oil or glycol mixes. An 18.1 mm piston diameter offers sufficient surface area for magnetic force to shift the seat quickly, promoting repeatable cycle times. The valve weighs 5.5 kg without the coil, a mass that supports bench assembly yet is light enough for single-technician maintenance in compact power units.
