Technical Information PVG 120 Proportional Valve Group Electrical Actuation PVEH, Inductive Transducer (LVDT – Linear Variable Differential Transformer) When the main spool is moved a voltage is induced proportional to the spool position. The use of LVDT gives contact-free (proximity) registration of the main spool position. This means an extra-long working life and no limitation as regards the type of hydraulic fluid used.
Technical Information PVG 120 Proportional Valve Group Electrical Actuation 3. Internal clock – The solenoid valves are disabled when the internal clock frequency fails, and the main spool will return/stay in neutral. Attention It is up to the customer to decide on the required degree of safety for the system.
Technical Information PVG 120 Proportional Valve Group Technical Characteristics General All characteristics and values in the technical information are typical measured results. For the hydraulic system a mineral based hydraulic oil with a viscosity of 21mm /s [102 SUS] and a temperature of 50°C [122°F] was used.

Pressure filters must be fitted to suit max. pump oil flow. Internal filters The filters built into PVG 120 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.
