 PVG 32 Proportional
Valve Technical
Information Function

PVG 32 Valve Group When the pump is started and the main spools in the individual basic modules (11)
with Open Centre PVP are in the neutral position, oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across
(PVB with Flow Control
the pressure adjustment spool (6) to tank. The oil flow led across the pressure
Spool) adjustment spool determines the pump pressure (stand-by pressure).

When one or more of the main spools are actuated, the highest load pressure is
fed through the shuttle valve circuit (10) to the spring chamber behind the pressure
adjust- ment spool (6), and completely or partially closes the connection to tank.

Pump pressure is applied to the right-hand side of the pressure adjustment spool (6).
The pressure relief valve (1) will open should the load pressure exceed the set value,
diverting pump flow back to tank.

In a pressure-compensated basic module the compensator (14) maintains a constant

pressure drop across the main spool – both when the load changes and when a
module with a higher load pressure is actuated.

With a non pressure-compensated basic module incorporating a load drop check valve
(18) in channel P, the check valve prevents return oil flow.
The basic module can be supplied without the load drop check valve in channel P for
functions with over-centre valves.

The shock valves PVLP (13) with fixed setting and the suction valves PVLA (17) on ports
A and B are used for the protection of the individual working function against overload
and/or cavitation.

An adjustable LS pressure limiting valve (12) can be built into the A and B ports of
pressure-compensated basic modules to limit the pressure from the individual
working functions.

The LS pressure limiting valves save energy compared with the shock valves PVLP:
 With PVLP all the oil flow to the working function will be led across the combined
shock and suction valves to tank if the pressure exceeds the fixed setting.
 With LS pressure limiting valves an oil flow of about 2 l/min [0.5 US gal/min] will be led
across the LS pressure limiting valve to tank if the pressure exceeds the valve setting.

PVG 32 Valve Group In the closed centre version an orifice (5) and a plug (7) have been fitted instead of the
with Closed Centre plug (4). This means that the pressure adjustment spool (6) will only open to tank when
PVP the pressure in channel P exceeds the set value of the pressure relief valve (1).
(PVB with Flow Control
Spool) In load sensing systems the load pressure is led to the pump regulator via the LS
connection (8).

In the neutral position the pump control sets the displacement so that leakage in the
system is compensated for, to maintain the set stand-by pressure.
When a main spool is actuated the pump regulator will adjust the displacement so that
the set differential pressure between P and LS is maintained.

The pressure relief valve (1) in PVP should be set at a pressure of approx. 30 bar [435 psi]
above maximum system pressure (set on the pump or external pressure relief valve).

PVPC,
PVPC with check valve for open centre PVP
Plug for External Pilot PVPC with check valve is used in systems
Oil Supply where it is necessary to operate the
PVG 32 valve by means of the electrical
remote control without pump flow.

When the external solenoid valve is

opened, oil from the pressure side of the
cylinder is fed via the PVPC through the
pressure reducing valve to act as the pilot
supply for the electrical actuators.
This means that a load can be lowered by
means of the remote control lever without
starting the pump. The built-in check valve prevents the oil from flowing via the pressure
adjustment spool to tank. With the pump functioning normally the external
solenoid valve is closed to ensure that the load is not lowered due to the pilot
supply oil flow requirement of approximately 1 l/min [0.25 US gal/min].

With closed centre PVP the external pilot oil supply can be connected to the pressure
gauge connection without the use of a PVPC plug.

PVPC,
PVPC without check valve
Plug for External Pilot Oil for open or closed centre PVP
Supply PVPC without check valve is used in
systems where it is necessary to supply
the PVG 32 valve with oil from a manually
operated emergency pump without
directing oil flow to the pilot oil supply
(oil consumption about 1 l/min)
[0.25 US gal/min].

When the main pump is working nor-

mally, the oil is directed through the PVPC
plug via the pressure reduction valve to
the electrical actuators.

When the main pump flow fails, the external shuttle valve ensures that the oil flow
from the manually operated emergency pump is used to pilot open the over centre
valve and lower the load. The load can only be lowered using the mechanical operating
lever of the PVG 32 valve.

PVMR,
PVMR, Friction Detent PVMR
Friction Detent
The friction detent PVMR allows the
directional spool to be held in any
position, resulting in infinitely variable,
reversible, pressure compensated
flow. This can be sustained indefinitely
with-out having to continue to hold
the
mechanical lever.

Please note:
PVMR should only be used together
with PVB basic modules with pressure
compensator.

PVBS,
When using standard flow control spools, the pump pressure is determined by the
Main Spools for highest load pressure. This is done either via the pressure adjustment spool in open
Flow Control centre PVP (fixed displacement pumps) or via the pump regulator (variable displacement
(Standard) pumps).

In this way the pump pressure will always correspond to the load pressure plus the
stand-by pressure of the pressure adjustment spool or the pump regulator.
This will normally give optimum and stable adjustment of the oil flow.

PVBS main spools with linear characteristic have less dead band than standard spools
PVBS, and a completely proportional ratio between control signal and oil flow in the range
Main Spools beyond the dead band. PVBS with linear characteristic must never be used together
for Flow Control with PVEM electrical actuators. The interaction between the small dead band of the
(with Linear spools and the hysteresis of the PVEM actuator of 20% involves a risk of building up a
Characteristic) LS pressure in neutral position.

In a few systems load sensing pump

PVBS, pressure may result in unstable
Main Spools for Pressure adjust- ment of the oil flow and a
Control tendency towards system hunting. This
may be the case with working
functions that have a large moment of
inertia or over-centre valves. In such
systems main spools for pressure
control can be advantageous.

The spools are designed in such a

way that the pump pressure is
controlled by the spool travel. The
main spool must be displaced until
the pump pressure just
exceeds the load pressure before the working function is applied. If the main spool is
held in this position, the pump pressure will remain constant – even if the load
pressure changes – giving a stable system.

The use of pressure control spools, however, also means that

 the oil flow is load dependent
 the dead band is load dependent
 the pump pressure can exceed the load pressure by more than is usual.

Due to these factors it is recommended that pressure control spools are only used when
it is known for certain that problems with stability will arise – or already have arisen.

PVPX,
PVPX is a solenoid LS unloading valve. PVPX is fitted into the pump side module
Electrical LS Unloading enabling a connection to be made between the LS and the tank lines. Thus the LS
Valve signal can be
relieved to tank by means of an electric signal.

For a PVP pump side module in open centre version the relief to tank of the LS
signal means that the pressure in the system is reduced to the sum of the tank port
pressure plus the neutral flow pressure for the pump side module.

For a PVP pump side module in closed centre version the relief to tank of the LS signal
means that the pressure is reduced to the sum of the tank port pressure for the pump
side module plus the stand-by pressure of the pump.

Actuation
Function The philosophy of Sauer-Danfoss electro hydraulic actuation, type PVE, is integration
of electronics, sensors and actuators into a single unit that interfaces directly to
the proportional valve body.

Pp T T

157-497

Closed loop control

All the proportional actuators feature an integrated feedback transducer that measures
spool movement in relation to the input signal, and by means of a solenoid valve
bridge, controls the direction, velocity and position of the main spool of the valve.
The integrated electronics compensate for flow forces on the spool, internal leakage,
changes in oil viscosity, pilot pressure, etc. This results in lower hysteresis and better
resolution. Furthermore the electronics enable built in safety like fault
monitoring, directional indication and LED light indication.

Principle
In principle the input signal (set-point signal) determines the level of pilot pressure which
moves the main spool. The position of the main spool is sensed in the LVDT
transducer which generates an electric feed-back signal registered by the electronics. The
variation between the set-point signal and feed-back signal actuates the solenoid valves.
The solenoid valves are actuated so that hydraulic pilot pressure drives the main spool into
the correct position.

Inductive transducer, LVDT

(Linear Variable Differential Transformer). When the main spool is moved, a
voltage is in-duced proportional to the spool position. The use of LVDT gives
contact-free monitoring of the main spool position. This means an extra-long
working life and no limitation as regards the type of hydraulic fluid used. In addition,
LVDT gives a precise position signal of high resolution.

Integrated pulse width modulation

Positioning of the main spool in PVEA/PVEH/PVES is based on the pulse width
modulation principle. As soon as the main spool reaches the required position,
modulation stops and the spool is locked in position.

Information Fault
Monitoring System
The Fault A fault monitoring system is provided in all PVEA, PVEH and PVES modules. The system is
Monitoring System available in two versions:
• The active fault monitoring type, which provides a warning signal, deactivates the
solenoid valves and drives the spool in neutral.
• The passive fault monitoring type, which provides a warning signal only.
Both active and passive fault monitoring systems are triggered by three main events:

1.Input signal monitoring

The input signal voltage is continuously monitored. The permissible range is between
15% and 85% of the supply voltage. Outside this range the section will switch into
an active error state.

2.Transducer supervision
If one of the wires to the LVDT sensor is broken or short-circuited, the section will
switch into an active error state.

3.Supervision of the closed loop

The actual position must always correspond to the demanded position (input
signal). If the actual spool position is further than the demanded spool position
(>12%, PVEA: >25%), the system detects an error and will switch into an active
error state.
On the other hand, a situation where the actual position is closer to neutral than that
demanded will not cause an error state. This situation is considered “in control”.
When an active error state occurs, the fault monitoring logic will be triggered:

Active fault monitoring

 A delay of 500 ms (PVEA: 750 ms) before anything happens.
 The solenoid valve bridge will be disabled and all solenoid valves will be released.
 An alarm signal is sent out through the appropriate pin connection.
 This state is memorized and continues until the system is actively reset (by turning off
the supply voltage).

Passive fault monitoring

 A delay of 250 ms (PVEA: 750 ms) before anything happens.
 The solenoid valve bridge will not be disabled but still control the main
spool position.
 An alarm signal is sent out through the appropriate pin connection.
 This state is not memorized. When the erroneous state disappears, the alarm
signal will turn to passive again. However, the signal will always be active for a
minimum of 100 ms when triggered.

To prevent the electronics from going into an undefined state, a general

supervision of the power supply and the internal clock frequency is made. This function
applies to PVEA, PVEH and PVES - and will not activate fault monitoring:

1. High supply voltage

The solenoid valves are disabled when the supply voltage exceeds 36 V, and the
main spool will return/stay in neutral.

2. Low supply voltage:

The solenoid valves are disabled when the supply voltage falls below 8.5 V, and the
main spool will return/stay in neutral.

WWARNING
It’s up to the customer to decide on the required degree of safety for the system
(see PVE series 4 catalogue DKMH.PK.570.A1.02, page 19).

Note:
1. Different degrees of safety are described on pages 56 to 59.

2. The fault monitoring does not work if the supply voltage to PVEA/PVEH/PVES is cut off – for example by a
neutral position switch (see page 56).

3. When using PVEA/PVEH/PVES with passive fault monitoring it’s up to the customer to decide on the
required degree of safety for the system (see page 56).

Oil flow characteristics
Basic Module
The oil flow for the individual spool depends on
• type of basic module
(with/without compensation)
• type of pump
(fixed or variable displacement).

Please note:
The letters AA, A, B, etc. denote spool types, see pages 62 to 69. The characteristic
below is shown for spool travel in both directions. All other characteristics are shown for
spool travel in one direction only.

Pressure-compensated PVB, open or closed centre PVP

The oil flow is dependent on the supplied pump oil flow. The characteristics are plotted
for a pump oil flow, QP, corresponding to the rated max. spool oil flow, QN.
Increasing the pump oil flow to 1,4  QN will give the same oil flow on the eighth as
on the first basic module.

The spool flow is dependent on the supplied oil flow, QP. The characteristics apply to

several basic modules are activated at the same time, the characteristic depends on the
load pressure of the actuated basic modules.

of a pressure relief valve, a PVB basic

Examples of How
To Use the Characteristics Example of determining the oil flow
for Pressure Control • Given:
Spools - Spool type B
- Pressure setting PP: 160 bar [2320 psi]
- Load pressure, LSA/B: 100 bar [1450 psi]
• Result:
- Oil flow = 75 l/min [19.8 US gal/min] (see page 45, size B).

Example of determining spool size

• Given:
- Max. oil flow, QA/B: 90 l/min [23.8 US gal/min]
- Pressure setting PP: 150 bar [2175 psi]
- Load pressure, PLS : 125 bar [1810 psi]
A
• Result:
- D spool (see page 45, size D)

Please note:
Normally a smaller spool can be chosen with pressure control. It is our experience that
the spool can be one size smaller than with normal flow control.

Position Main Spools The spools have 4,8 mm spool travel in direction A and 8 mm travel in direction B:
• 4.8 mm [0.19 in] spool displacement in direction A gives max. oil flow to port A
• 4.8 mm [0.19 in] spool displacement in direction B gives max. oil flow to port B
• 8 mm [0.32 in] spool displacement in direction B gives completely open float position
A/B  T.

Pressure drop A/B  T at max. spool travel within the proportional range
(4.8 mm) [0.19 in]

Spools D and E have the same opening area for forward flow and return flow.
Spool E can give 100 l/min [26.4 US gal/min] pressure compensated oil flow due to a
higher pressure drop across spool E. This occurs during spool actuation only.

Safety
Building in Safety All makes and all types of directional control valves (incl. proportional valves) can fail.
Thus the necessary protection against the serious consequences of function failure
should always be built in.

For each application an assessment should be made of the consequences of pressure

failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements.
To determine the degree of protection that ought to be built into the system, Sauer-
Danfoss makes the following distinctions.

1. Maximum safety demands

2. High safety demands
3. Average safety demands
4. Limited safety demands.

WWarning
All makes and all types of directional control valves – inclusive proportional valves –
can fail and cause serious damage. It is therefore important to analyse all aspects of
the application.
Because the proportional valves are used in many different operation conditions and
applications, the manufacturer of the application is responsible for making the final
selection of the products- and assuring that all performance, safety and warning require-
ments of the application are met.
The process of choosing the control system – and safety level – could e.g. be governed
by ISO 13849 (Safety related parts of control system).

When the fault monitoring system in PVEH is connected, the reaction to electrical and
mechanical faults (e.g. a spool seizure) is fast and operator-independent. See page 23
“fault monitoring”.

A system can be protected against many electrical, hydraulic and mechanical faults by
building in components as shown in the diagram:
R: Alarm logic EHA (or relay) connected to the fault monitoring system in PVEH
E: Electrical emergency stop
M: Solenoid valve
C: Pilot-operated check valve

The alarm logic EHA cuts off current to the solenoid valve (M) when PVEH
monitoring registers a fault. The solenoid valve then leads the oil flow direct from
pump to tank. Thus all functions are without operating pressure, i.e. locked in position,
because there is no pilot pressure on the pilot operated check valve (C).
Actuation of the emergency switch (E) cuts off current to the proportional valve and the
solenoid valve (M). Actuation in this case is manual, but the result is the same as above.
Stopping or disconnecting the pump drive motor is another safety measure, if the
system reaction time can be accepted.

Note:
The neutral position switch in the remote control units should not be used.
PVEH with fault monitoring must have a constant voltage supply.

The difference between this safety method and the one previously described (1) is that
here there is no built-in automatic fault monitoring and a neutral position switch (N) is
connected.
The method still gives a high degree of protection, but requires operator intervention. It
is recommended that the neutral position switch be always connected to the
electrical system. This then automatically cuts off current to the proportional valve
when the remote control unit is in neutral position.

V310188.A

The difference from the previous method is that the LS- signal from the proportional
valve is led direct to tank when the emergency switch (E) is actuated. This can be
achieved by using the Sauer-Danfoss LS unloading valve PVPX, integrated in the pump
side module.

In a system with open centre PVP and a fixed displacement pump, the effect of the PVPX
is an almost pressureless system, 8-14 bar [120-200 psi] i.e. all functions requiring a
higher operating pressure will not operate, see page 13.

The method can also be used in LS systems with a variable displacement pump
and closed centre version proportional valve.
The pressure after LS relief then depends on the pump stand-by pressure.

The safety system can consist of an emergency switch (E) and a neutral position switch
(N) if protection against electrical failure is the only requirement. Here, there is no
protection against hydraulic and mechanical faults (spool seizured in an extreme
position).

Operating Conditions
Oil The main duty of the oil in a hydraulic system is to transfer energy; but it must also
lubricate the moving parts in hydraulic components, protect them against corrosion, and
transport dirt particles and heat out of the system. It is therefore important to
choose the correct oil with the correct additives. This gives normal operation and
long working life.

Mineral oil
For systems with PVG 32 valves Sauer-Danfoss recommends the use of mineral-based
hydraulic oil containing additives: Type HLP (DIN 51524) or HM (ISO 6743/4).

Non-flammable fluids
Phosphate-esters (HFDR fluids) can be used without special precautions. However,
dynamic seals must be replaced with FPM (Viton) seals.
So please contact the Sauer-Danfoss Sales Organization if the PVG 32 valve is to be used
with phosphate-esters.
The following fluids should only be used according to agreement with the Sales
Organization for Sauer-Danfoss:
• Water-glycol mixtures (HFC fluids)
• Water-oil emulsions (HFB fluids)
• Oil-water emulsions (HFAE fluids)

Biodegradable oils
PVG 32 valves can be used in systems with rapeseed oil. The use of rapeseed oil is
conditioned by
- complying with the demands on viscosity, water content, temperature and filtering
etc. (see chapters below and technical data page 14).
- adapting the operating conditions to the directions of the oil supplier.

Before using other biodegradable fluids, please consult the Sauer-Danfoss Organization.

Particle Content, Degree

of Contamination Oil filtration must prevent particle content from exceeding an acceptable level, i.e. an
acceptable degree of contamination.

Maximum contamination for PVG 32 is 23/19/16 (see ISO 4406. Calibration in accordance
with the ACFTD method).

In our experience a degree of contamination of 23/19/16 can be maintained by using a

filter fineness as described in the next section.

Operating Conditions
Filtration Effective filtration is the most important precondition in ensuring that a hydraulic system
performs reliably and has a long working life. Filter manufacturers issue instructions and
recommendations. It is advisable to follow them.

System filters
Where demands on safety and reliability are very high a pressure filter with bypass and
indicator is recommended. Experience shows that a 10 µm nominal filter (or finer) or a
20 µm absolute filter (or finer) is suitable.
It is our experience that a return filter is adequate in a purely mechanically operated
valve system.

The fineness of a pressure filter must be selected as described by the filter manufacturer
so that a particle level of 23/19/16 is not exceeded.

The filter must be fitted with pressure gauge or dirt indicator to make it possible to check
the condition of the filter.

In systems with differential cylinders or accumulators the return filter must be sized to
suit the max. return oil flow. Pressure filters must be fitted to suit max. pump oil flow.

Internal filters
The filters built into PVG 32 are not intended to filter the system but to protect important
components against large particles. Such particles can appear in the system as a
result
of pump damage, hose fracture, use of quick-couplings, filter damage, starting up,
contamination, etc.

The filter in the electrical actuator PVE protecting the solenoid valves has a mesh of 150
µm.

Bursting pressure drop for internal filters is 25 bar [360 psi].

Order Specification An order form for Sauer-Danfoss PVG 32 hydraulic valve is shown on the next page.
The form can be obtained from the Sauer-Danfoss Sales Organization.

Both the module selection chart on the previous pages and the order form are divided
into fields 0, 1-10, 11, 12, 13, a, b, and c.

Each module has its own field:

0: - Pump side module PVP
- Plug for external pilot oil supply PVPC
- Electrical LS unloading valve
PVPX 1-10: Basic valves PVB
13: Main spool PVBS
a: Mechanical actuator PVM (or PVE when option
mounted) c: - Cover for mechanical actuation PVMD
- Cover for hydraulic actuation PVH
- Electrical actuators PVE (or PVM when option mounted)
b: - Shock and suction valve PVLP
- Suction valve
PVLA 11: End plate
PVS
12: Assembly kit PVAS

Please state
- Code numbers of all modules required
- Required setting (P) for pump side module
- Required setting of LSA/B pressure limiting valves, see pressure setting guidance
below.

Standard and option assembly

The PVG 32 valve group is assembled the way the module selection chart shows if
the code number for PVM is written in field a, and the code number for PVMD, PVE
or PVH in field c.
The valve group is assembled so that the mechanical actuator is mounted on the
opposite end of the basic module, if the code number for PVM is written in field c of the
order form and the code numbers for PVMD, PVE or PVH in field a.

Reordering
The space at the top right-hand corner of the form is for Sauer-Danfoss to fill in.
The code number for the whole of the specified valve group (PVG No.) is entered here.
In the event of a repeat order all you have to do is enter the number Sauer-
Danfoss has given on the initial confirmation of order.

Order Specification Pressure setting limits
The maximum setting pressure for the pressure limiting valves LSA or LSB depends on
the chosen pressure setting for shock valve PVLP. The maximum values recommended
to avoid interaction can be read in the following table.
The figures in the table have been calculated according to the following expressions:
- PVLP 150 bar: LSA/B  0.8  PPVLP
- PVLP >150 bar: PPVLP - LSA/B  30 bar.
