Vickers KBDG5V-5/7/8/10 are solenoid operated directional control, non-feedback type proportional valves.
These are two-stage proportional directional control valves in which the main-stage spool is positioned according to the output from an integrally mounted proportional, solenoid operated, pressure-reducing valve. Direction of main-spool travel depends upon which of the two solenoids of the pilot valve is energized and the amount of travel is dependent upon the current input to the solenoid.
At any intermediate position of the main spool, a force balance exists between the controlled, reduced pilot pressure acting on the spool end and the opposing centering spring, plus the action of flow forces. There is no electrical feedback of the main-stage spool position.
This range of valves offers effective and economic solutions for applications having repetitive load conditions throughout each operating cycle, e.g. mold closure/ opening in plastics molding machinery.
