The Bosch Rexroth 3WP 6 A6X/OFN/5 (R978012567) is a high-performance directional spool valve designed for controlling the start, stop, and direction of fluid flow within hydraulic systems. This valve is directly operated with pneumatic actuation and is characterized by its robust construction, which includes a housing, one or two actuation elements such as a pneumatic actuation cylinder, a control spool, and one or two return springs with radial port positioning.
The control spool can be shifted to the desired position using the actuation elements, ensuring precise control over fluid dynamics. In its default state when deenergized, the spool remains in either a central or initial position held by return springs unless it is an impulse spool variant. The 3WP 6 A6X/OFN/5 model also incorporates a throttle insert in channel P to manage flow conditions that may exceed the valve's performance limits during switching processes.
This particular model features versions without spring return and with detent (..OF..), allowing each spool position to be locked for stable operation. Additionally, it offers configurations without spring return and without detent (..O..), resulting in no defined spool position when deenergized.
The valve adheres to international standards with its porting pattern according to DIN form A without locating hole and ISO with locating hole. Subplates for this valve are available but must be ordered separately. For enhanced functionality, this model can be equipped with inductive position switches and proximity sensors that offer contactless detection of the spool's position.
With a maximum operating pressure of up to several hundred bar and capable of handling significant flow rates per minute (exact specifications available on data sheets), the Bosch Rexroth 3WP 6 A6X/OFN/5 is suitable for various demanding hydraulic applications requiring reliable directional control.

General information
Valves of type WP are fluidically actuated directional spool valves. They control the start, stop and direction of a flow.
The directional valves basically consist of housing (1), one or two actuation elements (2) (pneumatic actuation cylinder), control spool (3) and one or two return springs (4). The ports for the control are positioned radially (5).
When de-energized, the control spool (3) is held in the central position or in the initial position by the return springs (4) (except impulse spool).
The control spool (3) is moved to the desired spool position by means of the actuation elements.
Throttle insert
The use of a throttle insert is required when due to prevailing operating conditions, flows can occur during the switching processes, which exceed the performance limit of the valve.
It is inserted in channel P of the directional valve.
Type 4WP 6 E6X/...
Without spring return, with detent,
version ..OF/..
Directional valves with pneumatic actuation are also available as a 2-spool position valve with detent (7). If actuation elements with detent are used, each spool position can be locked.
Without spring return,
version ..O/..
If actuation elements without return springs and without detent are used, there is no defined spool position in the de-energized state.

Minimum pilot pressure dependent on the tank pressure
At a higher tank pressure, the minimum pilot pressure has to be increased according to this diagram.
Performance limits
(measured with HLP46, ϑOil = 40 ±5 °C)
Notice!
The switching function of the valves is independent from the filtration due to the adhesive effect. To achieve the specified admissible flow values, a full flow filtration with 25 μm is recommended. The flow forces acting within the valves also influence the flow performance.
With 4-way directional valves, the specified flow data are therefore valid for normal operation with 2 directions of flow (e. g. from P to A and simultaneous return flow from B to T).
If there is only one direction of flow, the admissible flow may be significantly lower in critical cases (e. g. if a 4-way directional valve is used as a 3-way directional valve due to blocked port A or B).
