ED72 and ED73 Series Control Valves
ED72 and ED73 control valvesare core components (used in conjunction with) Rexroth's A10VO/A10VSO series hydraulic pumps, primarily for hydraulic systems in construction machinery (e.g., excavators). They regulate pump displacement, pressure, and flow to meet dynamic power demands under varying operating conditions.

I. Product Overview
1. Applications
• Core Function: These valves control the output performance of A10VO/A10VSO pumps by adjusting displacement, pressure, and flow via electro-hydraulic proportional control, ensuring optimal power matching for construction equipment.
• Typical Use Cases:
• Excavators (20-ton class and below for ED72; 30-ton class and above for ED73).
• Rotary drilling rigs and other heavy-duty machinery.
2. Key Features
• Displacement Regulation: Stepless adjustment via electro-hydraulic proportional control to adapt to load changes.
• Pressure Control: Integrated pressure cutoff valves prevent system overload, protecting hydraulic components.
• Flow Control: Optimizes system efficiency by coordinating with engine speed to reduce energy consumption.

II. Technical Specifications
1. ED72 Control Valve
• Structure: Compact design integrating electro-hydraulic proportional valves, pressure cutoff valves, and flow control valves.
• Performance:
• Fast response for high-dynamic applications.
• Compatible with multiple control signals (e.g., PWM, current signals).
• Applications: Small-to-medium construction machinery (e.g., excavators <20 tons).
2. ED73 Control Valve
• Structure: Enhanced version of ED72 with redundant designs and improved sealing.
• Performance:
• Higher pressure resistance (e.g., nominal pressure up to 100 bar).
• Wider operating temperature range (-30°C to +80°C) for harsh environments.
• Applications: Heavy-duty machinery (e.g., excavators ≥30 tons, rotary drilling rigs).

IV. Application Cases
1. Excavator Hydraulic Systems
• ED72/ED73 valves paired with A10VO/A10VSO pumps enable dynamic displacement adjustment based on load, improving operational smoothness and fuel efficiency.
• Example: During digging, the valve adjusts pump displacement in real-time according to joystick input.
2. Rotary Drilling Rig Powerheads
• ED73’s high-pressure resistance supports drilling in hard strata, extending equipment lifespan.
