180L1014

The 180L1014 solenoid valve is part of the VDHT Solenoid Valves series manufactured by Danfoss for precise flow control in hydraulic automation circuits. It is a pilot-operated unit, meaning the electromagnetic coil shifts a small pilot stage that in turn moves the main piston to open the passage with reduced electrical power. The valve uses a 35 mm piston diameter, establishing the orifice area that determines its flow capability. A 2/2 configuration provides one inlet and one outlet so the device either permits or blocks fluid movement. Both ports are threaded to the BSP standard and sized at 1 in, allowing straightforward connection to common hydraulic pipework. An opening time that does not exceed 900 ms defines how quickly the valve reaches its fully open position when the coil is energized, supporting applications that do not require instantaneous response.

When de-energized, the internal spring and pilot stage close the valve within 2000 ms, ensuring a controlled stop to fluid motion. The design accommodates operating pressures up to 140 barg, so it can be installed in high-pressure supply manifolds without additional pressure-reducing components. Maximum flow is rated at 150 l/min, matching medium-sized hydraulic circuits such as presses or material handling cylinders. FKM sealing elements resist mineral oils and temperatures from 2 °C to 90 °C, maintaining leakage integrity across typical cold-start and full-load conditions. The assembly weighs 2 kg, making it light enough for panel mounting yet stable against vibration. These characteristics enable the valve to deliver reliable on-off control where moderate actuation speed and robust pressure handling are required.
