PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group General description PVG 32 is a hydraulic load sensing valve designed to give maximum flexibility. From a simple load sensing directional valve, to an advanced electrically controlled load-independent proportional valve. The PVG 32 modular system makes it possible to build up a valve group to meet requirements precisely.

PVG 32 with open center PVP PVG 32 with open center PVP (fixed displacement pump) and PVB with flow control spool. When the pump is started and the main spools in the individual basic modules (11) are in the neutral position, oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure adjustment spool (6) to tank.
PVG 32 with closed center PVP PVG 32 with closed center PVP (variable displacement pump) and PVB with flow control spool. In the closed center version of PVP an orifice (5) and a plug (7) have been fitted instead of the plug (4).

Technical Information PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group General description The pump outlet feeds directional control valves such as PVG-32, hydraulic integrated circuits (HIC), and other types of control valves. The PVG valve directs and controls pump flow to cylinders, motors and other work functions. A heat exchanger cools the fluid returning from the valve.
Technical Information PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group Safety in application All types of control valves (incl. proportional valves) can fail, thus the necessary protection against the serious consequences of function failure should always be built into the system. For each application an assessment should be made for the consequences of pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements.

Technical Information PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group Function Load sensing controls The LS control matches system requirements for both pressure and flow in the circuit regardless of the working pressure. Used with a closed center control valve, the pump remains in low-pressure standby mode with zero flow until the valve is opened.
• Wood chippers PVG 32 main spool with pressure compensated control The PC control maintains constant system pressure in the hydraulic circuit by varying the output flow of the pump. Used with a closed center control valve, the pump remains in high pressure standby mode at the PC setting with zero flow until the function is actuated.
PVPC with check valve for open center PVP PVPC with check valve is used in systems where it is necessary to operate the PVG 32 valve by means of the electrical remote control without pump flow. When the external solenoid valve is opened, oil from the pressure side of the cylinder is fed via the PVPC through the pressure reducing valve to act as the pilot supply for the electrical actuators.
PVPC without check valve for open or closed center PVP PVPC without check valve is used in systems where it is necessary to supply the PVG 32 valve with oil from a manually operated emergency pump without directing oil flow to the pilot oil supply (oil consumption about 0.5 l/min) [0.13 US gal/min].
Technical Information PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group Function PVMR, friction detent The friction detent PVMR allows the directional spool to PVMR, friction detent be held in any position, resulting in infinitely variable, reversible, pressure compensated flow. This can be sustained indefinitely without having to continue to hold the mechanical lever.
Technical Information PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group Function In a few systems load sensing pump pressure may result in unstable adjustment of the oil flow and a tendency towards system hunting. This may be the case with working functions that have a large moment of inertia or over-center valves. In such systems main spools for pressure control can be advantageous.
Technical Information PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group Function Fig. 4 Flow controlled spool Fig. 5 Pressure controlled spool P005 625 P005 626 The opening area of the variable orifice is at maximum at Pump pressure vs. spool travel curve initial actuation and 0 at full stroke of the spool and then the pressure created between the two orifices is led into the LS system in the usual way.
Technical Information PVG 32 Proportional Valve Group Function pressure limitation can be used. It will appear from the characteristics enclosed what effect a pressure limitation, P will have on max. flow on the lowering port. The size for a "full" pressure control spool is determined on basis of known load pressure, P max, and requested max.
Intermittent pressure at max. 250,000 cycles of full PVG life time cycles, with PVSI end plate. The maximum intermittent pressure at max. 250,000 cycles stresses the need to confirm application duty cycle before proceeding with specification.
