Functional description, section

Type 4 WS(E)2EM 6... are electrically operated, 2-stage directional valves. They are used primarily for the closed loop control of position, force, pressure, and velocity. The first stage of the pilot control is an electrically operated flapper nozzle valve. The control spool (6) is connected to the torque motor (7) by means of the mechanical feedback arrangement (1). The torque tube (3) centers the armature (2) and the flapper plate (4) in the initial position, when the torque motor (1) is not energized. Any inequalities between the torques of the torque motor (1) and the feedback spring (6), due to a change in the input signal, moves the flapper plate (4) out of the center position between the control orifices (5). A pressure differential is thus established which acts on the ends of the control spool. The control spool (7) moves due to this pressure differential. The control spool continues to change position until the pressure balance is restored, and the differential in pressure is reduced to zero. The stroke of the control spool (7), and thus the flow through the servo valve, is proportional to the electrical input signal (command value). External electronics (must be ordered separately) An external electronic control unit is used to control valve type 4 WS2EM 6 - 1X/... (servo amplifier), this amplifies an analog input signal (command value) to produce a controlled output current capable of driving the servo valve. Depending on the type of coil used different types of amplifiers are available (see electrical data, page 4). Integrated electronics Instead of having external closed loop control electronics, the 4WSE2EM 6-1X/... valve has its own specially matched electronic control (8) built-in. The controller, output stage and oscillator/ demodulator are built into the unit plug (9) of the cover plate. The command value, dependent on the control type, can be given as a regulated voltage ( 10 V) or as a regulated current ( 10 mA) can be made available to the valve for spool movement.

Notes on ordering codes:

Nominal flow Nominal flow is given in L/min at 100% control signal and 1000 PSI (70 bar) valve pressure drop (500 PSI (35 bar) per land). This valve pressure drop is to be regarded as a reference value. Other values will give a change in the flow. A possible 10% tolerance on flow must be taken into consideration (see flow signal function on page 5). If required, servo valves can be supplied with special operating characteristic curves (stepped or progressive form). However, these require a specification. Electronic control data The control signal must be generated by a current regulated output stage. The standard coil for valves with external electronics is coil no.12 with 50 mA/80 per coil. With this coil the optimum dynamics and linearity are obtained. For the integrated electronics the command value can be a voltage signal, ordering code 9, and where there is extensive cabling (80 ft (> 25 m) between computer and valve) a current signal, ordering code 8, can be used. Pilot oil These valves are only available with internal pilot oil supply and drain connections. The two additional ports in the valve body are test points, used when calibrating the valve. Input pressure range The system pressure should be as constant as possible. With reference to the dynamics, the frequency relationship must be taken into account within the permissible pressures of 145 to 3000 PSI (10 to 210 bar) or 145 to 4600 PSI (10 to 315 bar). Electrical connections Cable connections on request. The plug-in connector must be ordered separately! Spool overlap The spool overlap given in % refers to the nominal control spool stroke 0.020 in (0.5 mm). For closed loop control, our recommendation is for an overlap close to zero or slightly negative. Other spool overlaps available on request.

Test unit (battery operated) to data sheet RA 29 680 Attention: only for valves with external electronics this test unit can only be used with valves fitted with coil nos.1, 2 or 3. as with these valves with electrical feedback, in connection with the test unit, the control loop cannot be closed, therefore, the maximum flow is obtained at a command value of 0. Test unit for modulated valves with integrated electronics Type VT-VET-1, Series 1X to data sheet RA 29 685 The test unit is used to control and functionally test modulated valves with integrated electronics. It is suitable for testing valves with an operating voltage 15 V or 24 V. The following operating modes are possible: external operation passing on the operating voltage and command values from the control cabinet to the valve internal/external operation command value via the test unit; operating voltage from the control cabinet internal operation operating voltage via a separate power supply; command values via the test unit command values via the BNC socket optional power supply

The flow values given in the flow/load function are valid at 100% command value signal and 1015 PSI (70 bar) valve pressure drop. Standard valves have an E overlap. Where other spool overlaps are selected the signal range changes to 5% of the flow/signal function.

The flow signal function tolerance band lies within 10% of the nominal flow current characteristic curve. The initial gradient of the curve relates to the nominal flow at 10 to 50% command value.
