***Disclaimer: The following summary contains information gathered from various sources such as product descriptions, technical specifications and catalogs. While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Bosch Rexroth directly.***
The Bosch Rexroth 4WE6C6X/EG24NXEZ2 (R901035957) is a high-performance directional control valve designed for managing the flow and direction of hydraulic fluid within a system. This model is solenoid-actuated with wet-pin DC or AC solenoids and features two spool positions, ensuring precise control over the start, stop, and direction of flow. The valve includes a robust housing, one or two solenoids, a control spool, and one or two return springs. In its default state without energization, the control spool is maintained in either a central or initial position by the return springs.
This Bosch Rexroth valve offers an optional manual override feature that allows operators to adjust the spool without solenoid activation. It is suitable for applications requiring explosion protection as it complies with EU Explosion Protection Directive standards for areas II G (IInbsp;G), with valve solenoid protection classified as Exnbsp;ebnbsp;mbnbsp;IICnbsp;Tnbsp;Gb according to EN standards.
With its porting pattern conforming to ISO standards and the ability to handle maximum operating pressures up to bar and maximum flow rates of l/min, this directional valve is engineered for reliability and performance. Users should note that due to design reasons, internal leakage may be present and can increase throughout the product's lifecycle. Additionally, pressure peaks in tank lines can cause unintended movements in valves with detent unless separate return lines are provided or a check valve is installed.
The 4WE6C6X/EG24NXEZ2 valve also requires a throttle insert when operating conditions produce flows during switching processes that exceed the valve's performance limit. With its comprehensive features tailored for safety in potentially explosive atmospheres and precise flow control capabilities, this Bosch Rexroth directional control valve is an essential component for sophisticated hydraulic systems demanding high safety standards and reliable operation.

4/3-, 4/2- or 3/2-way version For intended use in potentially explosive atmospher
- Area of application in accordance with the Explosion Protection Directive 2014/34/EU: II 2G
- Type of protection of the valve solenoids: Ex eb mb IIC T4 Gb according to EN 60079-7 / EN 60079-18 Porting pattern according to ISO 4401-03-02-0-05 wet-pin DC or AC solenoids Electrical connection with individual connection and cable gland With manual override, optional
Directional valves of type WE are solenoid-actuated directional spool valves. They control the start, stop and direction of a flow.
The directional valves basically consist of the housing (1), one or two solenoids (2), the control spool (3), and one or two return springs (4).
In the de-energized condition, the control spool (3) is held in the central position or in the initial position by the return springs (4) (except for impulse spools). The control spool (3) is actuated by wet-pin solenoids (2).
To ensure proper functioning, make sure that the pressure chamber of the solenoid is filled with oil.
The force of the solenoid (2) acts via the plunger (5) on the control spool (3) and pushes the latter from its rest position to the required end position. This enables the necessary direction of flow from P → A and B → T or P → B and A → T.
After de-excitation of the solenoid (2), the return spring (4) pushes the control spool (3) back to its rest position.
An optional manual override (6) allows control spool (3) to be moved without solenoid energization.
Without spring return "O" (only possible with symbols A, C and D)
This version is a directional valve with two spool positions and two solenoids without detent.
In the de-energized condition, there is no defined spool position.
With spring return "OF"(impulse spool, only possible with symbols A, C and D)
This version is a directional valve with two spool positions, two solenoids and one detent. It alternately locks the two spool positions and the solenoid therefore does not need to be permanently energized.
Notice:
Pressure peaks in the tank line to two or several valves can result in unintended movements of the control spool in the case of valves with detent! We therefore recommend that separate return lines be provided or a check valve installed in the tank line.
For design reasons, internal leakage is inherent to the valves, which may increase over the life cycle.
Type 4WE 6 E6X/.E..NXE...
Throttle insert "...B"
The use of a throttle insert is required when, due to prevailing operating conditions, flows occur during the switching processes, which exceed the performance limit of the valve.

Special conditions for safe use
In case of valves with two solenoids, maximally one of the solenoids may be energized at a time. Simultaneously power supply to several valves in bank assembly is possible if the ambient temperature does not exceed 60 °C. In case of bank assembly, if only one of the solenoids is energized at a time, and during individual operation, the maximum ambient temperature may not exceed 70 °C. The maximum temperature of the surface of the valve jacket is 120 °C. This has to be considered when selecting the connection cable and/or contact of the connection cable with the surface of the jacket is to be prevented.Characteristic curves

Performance limits
(measured with HLP46, ϑOil = 40 ±5 °C)
Notice:
The specified performance limits are valid for use with two directions of flow (e. g. from P → A and simultaneous return flow from B → T).
Due to the flow forces acting within the valves, the admissible performance limit may be considerably lower with only one direction of flow (e. g. from P → A while port B is blocked).
In such cases, please consult us.
The performance limits were determined when the solenoids were at operating temperature, at 10 % undervoltage and without tank preloading.

Notice:
Corresponding to the rated current, a fuse according to DIN 41571 and EN / IEC 60127 has to be connected upstream of every valve solenoid (max. 3 x /rated).
The shut-off threshold of the fuse has to match the prospective short-circuit current of the supply source.
The prospective short-circuit current of the supply source may amount to a maximum of 1500 A.
This fuse may only be installed outside the potentially explosive area or must be of an explosion-proof design.
When inductivities are switched off, voltage peaks result which may cause faults in the connected control electronics. For this reason, the valve solenoids comprise an interference protection circuit which dampens this voltage peak to the voltage value shown in the table.
