PVG 120 Proportional Valve Group Function PVG 120 with PVP Open Center When the pump is started and the main spools (1) in the individual basic modules are in neutral position, oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure adjustment spool (2) to tank.
Technical Information PVG 120 Proportional Valve Group Safety in application All types of control valves (incl. proportional valves) can fail, thus the necessary protection against the serious consequences of function failure should always be built into the system. For each application an assessment should be made for the consequences of pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements.

Water-oil emulsions (HFB fluids) • Oil-water emulsions (HFAE fluids) Biodegradable fluids PVG 120 valves can be used in systems using rape-seed oil. The use of rape-seed oil is conditional on: • it complying with the demands on viscosity, temperature and filtration, etc. •...
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.
