THM – WE6/10 – Directional control valve
Achieve seamless, high-pressure fluid command with the THM WE6 / WE10 Series, the industry-standard for solenoid-actuated directional control. Available in both 4/2 and 4/3-way configurations, these valves are engineered to precisely manage the start, stop, and direction of hydraulic flow in demanding industrial and mobile circuits. Utilizing advanced wet pin DC or AC solenoids, the WE series delivers incredibly smooth shifting and high-cycle reliability. With a maximum operating pressure of 350 bar and flow capacities reaching 120 L/min, these valves provide the rugged performance and maintenance-friendly design required for modern hydraulic systems.
Core Technical Specifications:-
- Valve Architecture: Solenoid Operated Directional Spool Valve
- Configurations: 4/2 and 4/3-Way Variants
- Standard Sizes: NG6 (WE6) and NG10 (WE10)
- Maximum Operating Pressure: Up to 350 bar
- Maximum Flow Rate: 80 L/min (Size 6) | 120 L/min (Size 10)
- Actuation: Wet Pin DC or AC Solenoids
Key Features & Engineering Advantages:-
- Maintenance-Friendly Coil Replacement: Designed for maximum uptime, the solenoid coils can be changed without ever opening the pressure-tight chamber. This eliminates the risk of oil leaks or system contamination during electrical maintenance.
- Advanced Wet Pin Solenoids: The solenoid armature operates submerged in hydraulic oil (wet pin design). This provides natural lubrication, cushions the shifting stroke for quieter operation, and significantly extends the service life of the actuator by dissipating heat more effectively.
- Emergency Manual Override: Safety is paramount in heavy machinery. In the event of an electrical failure or "urgent situation," the internal spool can be manually shifted using the built-in hidden hand override, ensuring you maintain control of the machine's movement.
- High-Pressure Performance: Structurally reinforced to handle a continuous 350-bar workload, making it an ideal choice for high-pressure power units and heavy-duty mobile equipment.
- Versatile Voltage Options: Compatible with a wide range of DC and AC power sources, allowing for easy integration into both mobile 12V/24V systems and industrial factory grids.
Ideal Industry Applications:-
The reliability and high-pressure resilience of the WE6/10 Series make it a staple in:
- Industrial Manufacturing: Powering plastic injection molding machines, metal stamping presses, and automated assembly lines.
- Heavy Civil & Road Machinery: Providing directional control for auxiliary functions on asphalt pavers, road rollers, and motor graders.
- Material Handling: Ensuring precise control for industrial forklifts, scissor lifts, and dock levelers.
- Mobile Earthmoving Equipment: Managing secondary hydraulic circuits on mini-excavators and wheel loaders.
