1 General description 8.1 End section (with no control function) 9.4 ie bolts 6 uxiliary valves, flange-mounting on the top connection face O 3.5 Inlet section (3-way pressure compensator) 5.1 Directional valve, cable operation 5.1 Directional valve, manual operation 5.3 Manual override 5.2 Solenoid directional valve, direct acting 5.3 Solenoid directional valve, two-stage 7 uxiliary valves, flange-mounting on the bottom connection face U he L.8S valve series was developed for mobile applications and it features a robust design and small external dimensions. he L.8S valve range is a very flexible building-block system - its elements can be selected and assembled into a valve block that provides the necessary functions and precisely meets the needs of the application. he following components are available within the range: lock termination components - inlet sections - end sections Intermediate sections - 2-way pressure compensators - 3-way pressure compensators - multi-way pressure compensators Directional valves with auxiliary valves - load check valves - anti-shock valves - individual pressure compensators (2-way) and many more. Within the valve block, directional valve sections are connected in parallel to the pressure, tank and control lines. In a system with a fixed-displacement pump, a typical valve block contains a 3-way compensator, several directional valves and the necessary block termination components. he pump is connected to the valve block by a pressure line. When all directional valves are in the neutral position, the control line unloads the 3-way compensator to tank. he entire flow supplied to the valve therefore passes - with minimal unloaded pressure drop - through the 3-way compensator to the tank port or the carry-over port. When one of the directional valves is operated, the load pressure is signaled through the control line to the 3-way compensator. he 3-way compensator keeps the pressure difference between the pressure and control galleries inside the block at a constant level (the control pressure). he flow rate to the actuator is therefore always independent of the load and proportional to the open flow area of the metering orifice in the directional valve that has been operated. In a system with a pressure-controlled, variable-displacement pump, a typical valve block contains (in addition to the directional valves and block termination components) a 2-way compensator that must be positioned between the pump port and the pressure gallery inside the block. When all directional valves are in the neutral position, the 2-way compensator closes the inlet to the valve block. When one of the directional valves is operated, the 2-way compensator reduces the inlet pressure to a level sufficient to keep the pressure difference between the pressure and control galleries inside the block at a constant level. his ensures that the flow rate to the actuator is independent of the load and proportional to the open flow area of the metering orifice in the directional valve. he flow rate supplied to the valve block therefore matches the actual demand. 5/92

When a valve block is supplied by a variable-displacement pump with a load-sensing control. the pump can be connected directly to the valve block by a pressure line. In addition, the control line is connected to the pump control port. If the control pressure can be adjusted directly at the pump control, it is then possible to set the actuator flow rate to the specified value without any additional measures. If the pump control pressure is preset, the specified flow rate is achieved by placing a 2-way compensator before the directional valve. When all directional valves are in the neutral position, the pump is de-stroked. When one of the directional valves is operated then, due to the effect of either the pump control or the 2-way compensator positioned before the directional valve, the necessary control pressure is maintained between the pressure and control galleries inside the block. he flow to the selected actuator is therefore independent of the load and proportional to the open flow area of the metering orifice in the directional valve. In all of the system configurations described up to this point, when several directional valves are operated then, thanks to the shuttle valves situated in the control lines, the actuator with the highest load will dictate the control pressure and the flow rate to the actuator will be independent of the load and proportional to the open flow area of the metering orifice in the directional valve. Load-independence for the less highly-loaded actuators can be achieved by using individual pressure compensators, which reduce the excessive pressure difference sufficiently to ensure that the required control pressure exists at the corresponding directional valve. 2 he main components 2.1 Inlet and end section for valve blocks Every L.8S series valve block requires two block termination components in the form of one inlet section and one end section. hese two components are used for mounting the block, the block tie bolts pass through them, and they are provided with hydraulic ports. 2.2 Inlet and intermediate sections 2.2.1 2-way pressure compensator he 2-way compensator is a valve that controls a pressure differential. It is situated inside the block, before the pressure gallery. In this valve, the inlet pressure is reduced by the amount needed to ensure that the control pressure between the pressure and control galleries inside the block is kept constant. In some models, the valve closes the inlet to the block if the pressure in the control line reaches the setting of an upstream pressure relief valve. he 2-way compensator can be supplied as an inlet section or an intermediate section. 2-way pressure compensator 6/92

2.2.2 3-way pressure compensator he 3-way compensator is a valve that controls a pressure differential. It is situated between the pressure gallery and the tank or carry-over gallery. he valve keeps the pressure difference between the pressure and control galleries inside the block at a constant level and surplus flow passes to the tank or carry-over port. If the pressure in the control line reaches the setting of an upstream pressure relief valve, the 3-way compensator opens the connection to tank, thus limiting the pressure in the pressure gallery inside the block. In one particular model, the function of the 3-way compensator can be customised to suit the requirements of individual applications. he valve can be closed by a shutoff screw that is accessible from outside the valve. his allows the valve to be used on systems with pressure-controlled pumps, while accepting that there will be a reduction in the smoothness of operation. 3-way pressure compensator 2.3 Directional valves he control options for L.8S series directional valves enable continuous (L, LF, LQ, LH, LC and L or on/off (LM, LD) changes to the flow area of the metering orifice, which in turn determines the flow rate that is supplied to the actuator. his is achieved by arranging that in the first group of valves the spool can stop at any desired point along its total stroke, whereas the spools of LM/LD valves travel from one end of the stroke to the other when they are switched, and do not stop at intermediate positions. he various directional valves are differentiated by their type of operation. he L directional valves are mechanically operated by hand lever. he LF directional valves are mechanically operated by remote cable. he LQ directional valves are mechanically operated by a lead-screw. he LH directional valves have hydraulic operation via external ports. he LD and LC directional valves are electrically operated, direct acting. he LM and L directional valves have electro-hydraulic operation. he solenoids of LD, LC, LM and L directional valves are fitted with a manual override as standard, but in the case of the LM and L valves the overrides only work if pressure is present at the valve inlet. Series LH, LM and L directional valves can be equipped with an optional hand lever for manual operation of the valve spool in an emergency. In such cases, the operation of two valves in parallel is dependent on the pressure demands of the actuator connected to each valve. L directional valve 7/92

2.4 uxiliary valves he auxiliary valves fit onto the directional valves and can be flange-mounted on the top (connection face O) or bottom (connection face U) of the valve, which is specially designed for this purpose. For mounting on connection face O, these alternative auxiliary valves are available: - nti-shock valve (secondary pressure relief valve with make-up facility) - Load control valve - Load check valve (pilot operated non-return valve) - various special bolt-on plates nti-shock valves are used to prevent over-pressure in the actuator lines and/or cavitation with negative loads. Load control valves provide controlled, load-independent lowering of over-running (pulling) loads. he anti-shock function is integrated and adjustable. Load check valves hold the actuator, which may be under load, with virtually zero leakage. he actuator is released by applying pressure to the other actuator port. For mounting on connection face U, these alternative auxiliary valves are available: - Individual pressure compensator - Flow limiter - ressure-reducing compensator n individual compensator is used when the flow rate to the actuator must be independent of load, but the inlet compensator cannot perform the necessary pressure-control function. In the case of LQ directional valves, the individual pressure compensator is integrated. dditional function blocks are described in detail in the relevant sections.
