1.5  DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION 

 

 
 
The solenoid-operated proportional directional spool valves of type C4WERE 6 are used to control a flow 
precisely and dynamically.  
 
The valve comprises a valve housing (1) with corresponding valve piston (2). It has two return springs (3) 
and is fitted with two powerful regulating solenoids (4), a positional transducer (5) and on-board electronics 
(6). 
 
The on-board electronics convert an analogue nominal value signal into a proportional piston displacement 
in relation to the return spring. This causes the nominal flow directions between the respective connections 
to be released or closed. The force needed to perform the displacement is generated by the solenoid. The 
positional transducer constantly records the current position and the on-board electronics compare the actual 
position with the target position and set the pilot flow to the level required to correct any difference. This 
makes it possible to have a steadily increasing flow even if the pressure difference across the valve is 
increasing.  
 
If the valve is de-energised, the return springs return the valve piston to a safe position (fail-safe function as 
an option).

 

 

1.6 

FIELDS OF APPLICATION  

 

The valve is used in the following applications, for example: 

  Injection moulding machines 

  Grinding machines 

  Blow moulding technology 

  Honing machines 

  Steelworks 

  Wood processing 

  Machine tools 

 

If you plan on using the valve for other fields of application, please consult with our technical department 
before initial start-up.
