Vickers® Proportional Valves Proportional Directional and Throttle Valves – Solenoid Operated KDG4V-3S and KTG4V-3S standard performance series K(A)DG4V-3 and K(A)TG4V-3 high performance series ISO 4401-03 (NFPA D03) – Pressures to 350 bar (5075 psi) Revised 11/98 539
Introduction KDG and KTG Valves Vickers KDG and KTG valves are non-feedback type proportional valves. The KDG is a proportional directional valve with two solenoids (C models). It incorporates control of flow, direction, acceleration, and deceleration in a single control valve. The KTG is a proportional throttle valve with a single solenoid. B models are spring centered with solenoid A removed. F models are spring offset to port A and respond to an increasing signal by reducing the flow rate.

General Information Typical Applications This type of valve is often used in both mobile and industrial “line-of-sight” applications where speed and position are controlled by an operator. Some examples are aerial work platforms, entertainment industry rides, farm combine controls, material handling equipment, and process controls.

System Calculations for Valve Selection The “rated flow” values for this range of proportional valves are determined with a looped flow path pressure drop (e.g. P→A→B→T) of 10 bar (145 psi) when the valve is fully open. As explained on page 4, however, “rated flow” is an arbitrary term dependent upon external factors. It is important to properly size a proportional valve to achieve good resolution. A common mistake in specifying proportional valves is selecting too high a rated flow.

Mounting Requirements Mounting Surface Mounting surface must be flat within 0,013 mm (0.0005 inch) and smooth within 1,1 micrometer (45 microinch). Mounting bolts should be grade 12.9 (SAE grade 7) or better. 12,70"0,20 (0.500"0.008) * Minimum thread depth is 11/2 × bolt diameter (D). Recommended full thread depth is 2 × D + 6 mm. This aids in interchangeability of valves and reduces number of fixing bolt lengths. Recommended engagement of fixing bolt thread for ferrous mountings is 11/4 × D.
Fluid Cleanliness Proper fluid condition is essential for long and satisfactory life of hydraulic components and systems. Hydraulic fluid must have the correct balance of cleanliness, materials, and additives for protection against wear of components, elevated viscosity and inclusion of air.
