DG4V3S6CMX5ER460

The DG4V3S6CMX5ER460 directional valve belongs to the DG4 Directional Valves series and is produced by Vickers for hydraulic automation systems that require electrically controlled flow direction. It is solenoid operated, so electrical signals shift the spool without manual effort, and the wet armature solenoid design submerges the coil core in hydraulic fluid to reduce noise and improve heat transfer. Spool type 6 blocks the pressure port while connecting both work ports to tank in the neutral position, making it suitable for circuits that need full pressure isolation during standby. The C spring-centered arrangement returns the spool to neutral once the solenoid is de-energized, ensuring automatic centering. A 100 percent duty cycle allows the coil to remain energized continuously without overheating, and a plain manual override lets technicians move the spool mechanically during setup or power loss. The ISO 4401-AB-03-4-A mounting interface provides standardized sub-plate installation.

The valve carries a maximum flow rating of 40 l/min (10.5 US gpm), which defines the highest volume it can direct without excessive pressure drop. Ports P, A, and B withstand working pressures up to 350 bar (5000 psi), while the tank port tolerates 210 bar (3000 psi), supporting high-pressure mobile and industrial circuits. Hydraulic fluid must meet an ISO cleanliness level of 19/17/14 to limit wear on the spool and solenoid tube. Overall size is constrained by a product length of 199.898 mm, a width of 47.752 mm, and a height of 3.570 in, enabling tight manifold layouts. These physical limits help machinery designers allocate space accurately. With the stated flow capacity, pressure ratings, cleanliness requirement, and compact dimensions, the DG4V3S6CMX5ER460 fits applications where reliable, continuous, and space-efficient directional control is essential.
