Ensure absolute operational safety and precise fluid control in your most demanding hydraulic circuits with the THM LFV Series 2-Way Cartridge Valve. Engineered specifically for high-risk, heavy-duty applications where operator safety is paramount, this advanced directional valve features integrated spool position monitoring. By providing real-time feedback via an inductive position switch, the LFV Series ensures your equipment strictly adheres to the designed safety parameters. Capable of processing massive flow rates from 130 up to 1400 L/min and safely sustaining continuous pressures up to 320 bar, this valve serves as the ultimate fail-safe logic element for the massive civil, road, and earthmoving machinery that demands uncompromising safety standards.

Core Technical Specifications:-

• Valve Architecture: 2-Way Cartridge Valve (Logic Element)
• Integrated Technology: Spool Position Monitoring (Inductive Switch)
• Maximum Operating Pressure: Up to 320 bar
• Flow Rate Capacity: 130 to 1400 L/min
• Installation Standard: ISO7368 compliant bore
• Electrical Connection: DIN43650 standard connector

Key Features & Engineering Advantages:-

• Active Spool Position Monitoring: Equipped with a highly accurate inductive position switch that continuously senses and feeds back the exact physical location of the internal spool to your machine’s control unit, ensuring the valve is strictly following the commanded cycle.
• Instant Fail-Safe Protection: Designed to act as a critical safety interlock. The moment the inductive switch detects an anomaly or feeds back an error signal, it triggers the equipment to halt operations immediately, preventing mechanical collisions, catastrophic failures, and protecting the operator.
• Massive Fluid Processing: Despite its sophisticated monitoring electronics, the rugged cartridge core effortlessly manages immense fluid volumes up to 1400 liters per minute without bottlenecking your main work circuits.
• Flexible Sensor Wiring: The inductive position switch can be easily wired in either a Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) configuration, allowing for seamless integration into diverse PLC setups and safety relays.
• Functional Diversity: The standardized design allows for the installation of various pilot solenoid valves on the control cover, giving engineers the flexibility to perfectly tailor the directional, pressure, or flow control functions to the specific machine.
• Global Mounting Standard: Machined to fit standardized ISO7368 installation bores, making it an easy-to-integrate, drop-in safety upgrade for custom steel manifolds.

Ideal Industry Applications:-

The massive flow capacity and real-time safety monitoring of the LFV Series make it the premier directional control component for:

• Heavy Civil & Road Machinery: Serving as the critical safety shutoff for the massive hydraulic drives and lifting cylinders on large-scale road milling machines, heavy asphalt pavers, and high-capacity motor graders.
• Extreme Earthmoving Equipment: Providing fail-proof spool monitoring for the main boom and bucket circuits on heavy mining excavators and articulated dump trucks.
• Large-Scale Industrial Presses: Ensuring absolute operator safety and precise stroke control in heavy metal-forming presses and plastic injection molding machines.
• Automated Material Handling: Acting as a monitored logic element in heavy-duty lifting platforms, automated weighbridges, and industrial cranes.
