DG5V8S6CMX5A10

The DG5V8S6CMX5A10 valve belongs to the DG5 Two-Stage Directional Valves series manufactured by Vickers. It directs hydraulic flow in automated circuits through a solenoid-controlled, pilot-operated mechanism, allowing electrical signals to shift the main spool without large actuation force. The internal pilot pressure source eliminates external pilot lines while the external pilot drain returns fluid to tank and prevents back-pressure on the pilot stage. An S-type pilot valve built to the CETOP 3 standard handles the initial shifting strokes and interfaces with common manifold bases. For installation, the valve uses an ISO 4401-08 (NFPA D08) mounting interface and seats on a subplate, simplifying replacement and aligning porting without pipe rework.

A spring-centered spool returns to its neutral position when the solenoids are de-energized, ensuring predictable stop conditions in closed-loop systems. The specific spool designation 6 blocks port P while connecting ports A and B to T in center, which unloads work ports during standby to reduce heat generation. Gauge ports machined to the M size under ISO 6149 allow pressure measurement at critical points without additional adapters. The design omits a pressure-port check valve, so external circuitry must supply pump backflow protection where needed. Collectively these features make the DG5V8S6CMX5A10 suitable for accurate, rapid directional control within presses, machine tools, and other hydraulic automation equipment.
