PVE series 4 introduction PVE Series 4 is the common name for the Danfoss PVG electrical actuator. This technical information covers our voltage controlled PVE and our current controlled PVHC actuator. For the PVHC please see in the PVHC sectionl.
Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC General Information PVE controlled PVG with PVSK PVE stands for PVE actuator The Danofss PVE is built on more than thirty years experience of electrical valve control and is the perfect fit for our high performance proportional valves PVG 32, PVG 100 and PVG 120, as it is for our EH steering.
Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC General Information Overview The PVG is a sectional spool valve stack with up to 12 individually controlled proportional valves. The PVG with the PVE can be operated as single valves or several valves in cooperation. The oil flow out of the work section (A- or B-port) can be controlled by a combination of the following: •...
Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC Functionality PVG functionality The PVG valve distributes oil from pump flow to a particular work function in the application via a specific valve section. This is done by moving the spool (PVBS). Depending on the choice of components the oil work flow enters the PVG through the PVP (proportional valve pump side module), a PVSK, a mid inlet or other system interface and enters the PVB (proportional valve basic module) via the P gallery and leaves through the T gallery.

The heart in the hydraulic subsystem is the solenoid valve bridge which controls the Pilot Pressure (Pp) on spool ends.
Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC Functionality Variant of hydraulic subsystem: PVEA Hydraulic variant: PVEA NO2 and NO4 are replaced with orifices. Warning PVEA is not for use on PVG 100. Variant of hydraulic subsystem: PVHC The PVHC does not work as a PVE and does not have transducer, anti cavitation nor protection against tank pressure spikes.
The standard PVE has an aluminum block for distributing pilot oil. PVE with anodized block are available. The connector gives the electrical interface to power and control system. Danfoss have a variety of connectors. We know that tradition and the aspects of serviceability are important when our customers choose.

Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC Functionality The PVE features Closed Loop Control (CLC). This is made possible by on board electronics and an integrated feedback transducer that measures spool movement. The integrated electronics compensate for flow forces on the spool, internal leakage, changes in oil viscosity, pilot pressure, etc. This results in lower hysteresis and better resolution.
Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC Safety and monitoring The choice of PVE also decides the level of feedback and safety. PVE are available with fault monitoring, spool direction indication, spool position feedback and separate float control. The fault monitoring is available in PVEA/H/S/P/U and is a utilization of the ASIC.
Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC Safety and monitoring Warning Error pins from more PVEs may not be interconnected. Not activated error pins are connected to ground and will disable any active signal. Error pins are signal pins and can only supply very limited power consumption.

Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC Safety and monitoring Solenoid disabling function (-NP) PVEH-NP and PVEA-NP have a build in feature that disables the solenoids by US at 50% and gives a feedback on the solenoid status. This is done to facilitate application monitoring. The fault monitoring is still activated but the closed loop will remain passive until the control signal shifts.
Technical Information PVE, Series 4 for PVG 32/100/120 and PVHC Safety in application Building in safety All brands and 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.

PVEP The PVEP is designed for PWM control signals only.
The solenoids might be activated by voltage down to 6 V. PVE for float spool Danfoss has developed two PVE variants to support the float spool. The float spool is a 4/4 spool, where as the standard is a 4/3 spool giving another characteristic and maximum stroke. These variations are covered by the built-in electronics.
