The Bosch Rexroth 4WP6EB6X/5 (R978015441) is a direct-operated directional spool valve designed to control the start, stop, and direction of fluid flow within hydraulic systems. This model is part of the WP series, which is characterized by its fluidic actuation and robust construction. The valve houses control spools that are moved to their desired positions through pneumatic actuation elements. These spools are maintained in their central or initial position by return springs when de-energized.
The 4WP6EB6X/5 model comes with a throttle insert, which is necessary when operating conditions produce flows during switching processes that could surpass the valve's performance limit. This insert is placed in channel P of the directional valve to mitigate such issues. The design also includes features such as no spring return and a detent mechanism ('..OF..' version), allowing each spool position to be locked for stable operation.
Alternatively, there's a variant without spring return and without detent ('..O..' version), which means there is no defined spool position when the valve is de-energized. For applications requiring precise control, this model can be equipped with inductive position switches or contactless proximity sensors for accurate feedback on the spool's position.
The Bosch Rexroth 4WP6EB6X/5 complies with porting patterns according to DIN (without locating hole) and ISO (with locating hole) standards. Users can refer to separate data sheets for information on subplates required for mounting this component. The maximum operating pressure for this series X component reaches up to bar levels, while it can handle maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute (l/min), ensuring adequate performance for various hydraulic applications.

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).
