Directional mobile valve (DMV)
The DMV directional control valve is a sectional valve based on the proven Vickers by Danfoss KDG4V-3 high-performance valve design. It has direct-acting electric solenoid control for spool position and a closed-center, parallel, or series circuit that can also function as an open-center circuit by using unloading inlet options. The versatile, modular design allows the DMV to be custom configured from a variety of modules to control velocity, direction, and acceleration or deceleration in mobile applications.
Features and benefits
- Provides load sense and PO check capability for closed- and open-circuit solutions
- Fully encapsulated solenoid coils—impervious to common industrial fluids
- Coils can be removed and replaced quickly and easily
- Various voltage control and connection options available
- IP65/67/69K coils ratings, dependent upon connection
- ON/OFF soft shift feature available to provide smoother control of actuator acceleration and deceleration than possible with conventional solenoid valves
Applications
- Aerial work platforms
- Mini excavators
- Lawn tractors
- Backhoes
- Telehandlers
- Material handling equipment
