The Bosch Rexroth 2WFCE40S940L-1X/M/24B1 (R901436319) is a state-of-the-art pilot-operated proportional directional valve designed for advanced hydraulic system applications. This sophisticated component is engineered to precisely control the flow and direction of hydraulic fluid within an industrial setup, ensuring optimal performance and responsiveness. The valve integrates a main stage, a pilot control valve with a proportional solenoid, and electronics with a position transducer and an analog interface or can be operated with an external module amplifier. The integrated or external electronics are responsible for comparing the desired command value to the actual position of the main stage's control spool. Any deviation triggers the solenoid of the pilot control valve, adjusting the spool accordingly until equilibrium is achieved. The system ensures that both stroke and orifice cross-section are proportionally controlled based on command inputs, effectively correcting any discrepancies. For efficient operation, it's essential to maintain proper flow direction connections and ensure that port Y is depressurized to the tank. In scenarios where supply voltage drops below minimum levels or in case of a solenoid conductor cable break, this valve is designed to fail-safe; it automatically moves to its seat using available pressure at port X alongside the force of the main stage spring, thus blocking flow between ports A and B. When paired with a pressure compensator, this valve can also manage pressure-compensated flow control. Its robust construction allows for pressure resistance up to 350 bar and high vibration resistance according to DIN EN standards. It operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to +70°C. Precision is guaranteed through its high response sensitivity and minimal hysteresis. This Bosch Rexroth valve stands out for its high-quality design that adheres to ISO installation dimensions standards, offering flexibility in various hydraulic applications while ensuring safety through its fail-safe positioning in case of power failure or other electrical issues. It comes in sizes 6, 10, 16, 25, 32 with component series X marking maximum operating pressures of 350 bar and maximum flow rates up to 400 l/min while meeting CE requirements according to EMC directive EU standards.

Set-up

The pilot-operated proportional directional valve type 2WFCE basically consists of:

Cover (1) Main stage (2) Pilot control valve with proportional solenoid (3) Integrated electronics with position transducer and analog interface (4) or external control electronics as module amplifier

The electronics (integrated or external) compare the specified command value to the position actual value of the control spool of the main stage (2). In case of control deviations, the solenoid of the pilot control valve (3) is activated. In this way, the control spool is adjusted. Depending on the control deviation, the control chamber of the main stage (2) is either pressurized with pilot oil (the main stage closes) or unloaded (the main stage opens). Stroke and orifice cross-section are controlled proportionally to the command value until the control deviation is remedied.

For proper function, the following has to be observed:

Direction of flow A → B (X connected to A) Direction of flow B → A (X connected to B) Port Y depressurized to the tank

Failure of supply voltage

If the minimum supply voltage fails or is fallen below, the enable is disconnected (only interfaces B1 and G1) and in case of a cable break of the solenoid conductor, the electronics will de-energize the solenoid of the pilot control valve (3). The control spool of the main stage (2) moves securely to its seat using the pressure available at port X and the force of the main stage spring and blocks the flow between A and B.

Flow control function

In connection with a pressure compensator, the pilot-operated proportional directional valve can be used for the pressure-compensated control of a flow.

Important information on hydraulic fluids: For more information and data on the use of other hydraulicfluids, please refer to the data sheets above or contact us. There may be limitations regarding the technical valve data (temperature, pressure range, life cycle, maintenance intervals, etc.). The ignition temperature of the hydraulic fluid used must be 50 K higher than the maximum surface temperature. Bio-degradable and flame-resistant – containing water: If components with galvanic zinc coating (e.g. version "J3" or "J5") or parts containing zinc are used, small amounts of dissolved zinc may get into the hydraulic system and cause accelerated aging of the hydraulic fluid. Zinc soap may form as a chemical reaction product, which may clog filters, nozzles and solenoid valves - particularly in connection with local heat input. Flame-resistant - containing water: Due to increased cavitation tendency with HFC hydraulic fluids, the life cycle of the component may be reduced by up to 30% as compared to the use with mineral oil HLP. In order to reduce the cavitation effect, it is recommended - if possible specific to the installation - to back up the return flow pressure in ports T to approx. 20% of the pressure differential at the component. Dependent on the hydraulic fluid used, the maximum ambient and hydraulic fluid temperature must not exceed 50 °C. In order to reduce the heat input into the component, the command value profile is to be adjusted for proportional and high-response valves.

Function

1. Switch-on procedure/Fault behavior

After applying the supply voltage of 24 V, the electronics are ready for operation provided that the following conditions are met:

Supply voltage UB > 18 V DC Connection to solenoid not interrupted Command value line not interrupted and command value > 2.7 mA (interface "G1" only)

If one of the conditions is not met, the controllers and the output stage will be blocked and the ready for operation signal to pin 11 (interface "B1" and "G1" only) will be set to 0 V.

2. Actual value output signals

Electrical interfaces "A1" (pin F) and "B1" (pin 6) "A1": 0.35 V … +10 V corresponds to 0% … 100% valve opening; control spooll in seat position if actual value < -2.5 V "B1": 0 V … +10 V corresponds to 0% … 100% valve opening; control spool in seat position if actual value < -1.5 V Electrical interface "G1" (pin 6) 4 mA … +20 mA corresponds to 0% … 100% valve opening; control spool in seat position if actual value < 2.7 mA
