FAQ

What is the significance of the '2C' spool type in this DG4V-5 valve?

The '2C' spool is a spring-centered, three-position configuration. In its neutral (de-energized) state, it blocks the work ports (A and B) and connects the pressure port (P) directly to the tank port (T). This is useful for unloading the hydraulic pump, reducing heat and energy consumption when no actuation is required.

Yes, this valve is typically compatible with standard mineral-based hydraulic oils (HL, HLP). For use with synthetic fluids, water glycols, or phosphate esters, you must consult the Eaton/Vickers datasheet to ensure seal compatibility, as special seals (e.g., Viton) may be required.

For a steel subplate, the recommended tightening torque for the M6 mounting bolts is typically between 9 and 11 Nm (Newton-meters). Applying torque evenly in a cross pattern is crucial to prevent distorting the valve body, which could cause the spool to bind.
