1. Model Breakdown
• 4WEH16L NN
• 4: Indicates4 ports(P, T, A, B), typically a 3-position 4-way directional control valve.
• WEH: Designation forelectro-hydraulic directional control valvesin the Bosch Rexroth series (solenoid-operated).
• 16: Nominal size16mm (DN16), corresponding to a flow range of approximately100–200 L/min(dependent on pressure).
• L: Valve spool function code, representing"L" type center position(P port blocked, A/B ports connected to T port, allowing cylinder float).
• NN: Installation or additional feature code, possibly indicating:
• NG6 interface(ISO 4401 standard);
• Orno spring return(confirm with manufacturer catalog).
2. Key Specifications
• Operating Pressure: Typically315 bar (31.5 MPa)(Bosch Rexroth standard).
• Flow Range: Approx.100–200 L/min(DN16, at 5 bar pressure drop).
• Control Method:
• Solenoid-operated(single/double solenoid actuation);
• Optionalwet or dry solenoid types.
• Voltage: CommonlyDC 24VorAC 110V/220V.
• Response Time: Approx.10–50 ms(dependent on solenoid power).
• Leakage: Internal leakage ≤5 cm³/min(standard value).
3. Typical Applications
• Construction Machinery: Directional control in excavators, loaders.
• Industrial Equipment: Hydraulic circuit switching in injection molding machines, die-casting machines.
• Metallurgical Industry: Hydraulic systems for continuous casting machines, rolling mills.
• Marine Hydraulics: Steering gears, deck machinery oil path switching.
4. Structural Features
• Integrated Design: Solenoid, valve body, and pilot valve in one unit to reduce leakage points.
• Modular Assembly: Stackable with pressure compensators, throttle valves, and other accessories.
• Contamination Resistance: Spool clearance sealing for medium-contamination hydraulic fluids.
• Low-Temperature Adaptability: Optional low-temperature solenoids (for -40°C environments).
5. Selection Considerations
• Center Position Function: "L" type suits floating cylinder applications; for locking, choose "O" or "Y" types.
• Voltage Compatibility: Match with control system (DC 24V common, AC optional).
• Flow Verification: Ensure actual flow ≤ rated flow to avoid excessive pressure drop.
• Environmental Adaptability: Select higher IP-rated solenoids (e.g., IP65) for humid/corrosive conditions.
