4WRA/4WRAE Compact Direct-Acting Control Proportional Directional Valves
Product Overview
4WRA/4WRAE Compact Direct-Acting Control Proportional Directional Valves is a high-precision Hydraulic valve for flow and direction regulation. As a core control component of the hydraulic system, it precisely controls the speed and motion direction of actuators on the Machine. 4WRA adopts external amplifier control while 4WRAE comes with integrated on-board electronics (OBE). It is plate-mounted following ISO 4401 standard, available in size 6 and size 10, 4/2-way or 4/3-way configurations. Compact structure, direct proportional solenoid drive, spring-centered spool, widely used for industrial automation machinery, lifting equipment, metallurgical and plastic machinery.

Working Principle
The control signal is sent to the proportional solenoid of this Hydraulic valve. The electromagnetic force pushes the control spool to overcome spring force and shift. The spool opening changes proportionally according to input signal, adjusting flow rate and direction of oil in the hydraulic system. It realizes stepless speed regulation of hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor on the Machine. When the electric signal disappears, the centering spring pushes the spool back to neutral position, cutting off oil flow and stopping the actuator.
Core Advantages
1. Direct-acting structure without pilot stage, fast response, simple and reliable hydraulic system layout.
2. Compact body design, save installation space on the Machine.
3. 4WRAE integrated amplifier reduces wiring work and signal interference; 4WRA supports separate external control.
4. Precision ground spool, low internal leakage, stable proportional linearity.
5. Removable solenoid coil, convenient maintenance and replacement.
6. Multiple spool options to meet different motion control requirements for the Hydraulic valve.
Application Range
This Hydraulic valve is widely applied in the hydraulic system of industrial Machine, including injection molding machines, hydraulic presses, metallurgical equipment, aerial work platforms, material handling machinery and automatic production lines. It is used for precise speed and direction control of hydraulic cylinders and motors.
