PVG 100 valve system
PVG 100 is a hydraulic load sensing valve, designed to fulfill efficiency requirements.
From a simple load sensing directional valve to an advanced electrohydraulic controlled load
independent proportional valve the PVG 100 modular system makes it possible to build up a valve group
to fulfill customer requirements. The compact external dimensions of the valve remain unchanged
whatever combination is specified.

valve
Open spool-ends for system integrating mechanical cable or linkage actuation
When the pump is started and the main spools in the individual basic modules are in the neutral position,
oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure matching spool (11) to tank. The oil
flow led across the pressure matching spool determines the pump pressure (stand-by pressure).
When one or more of the main spools are actuated, the highest load pressure is fed through the shuttle
valve circuit (4, 7) to the spring chamber (10) behind the pressure matching spool, and completely or
partially closes the connection to tank. Pump pressure is applied to the opposite side of the pressure
matching spool. The pressure relief valve (1) will open should the load pressure exceed the set value,
diverting pump flow back to tank.
Optional PVPC with check valve option may be used in systems where it is necessary to operate the PVG
100 valve by means of the electrical remote control without pump flow.
For additional information about PVPC refer to the publication BC152886483664.
Optional electrically actuated pilot shut off valve PVPP provides additional functional system safety by
removing pilot oil from the electrical actuation or hydraulic actuation system, disabling main spool
actuation. When the PVPP is used with the PVBZ P.O. check valve system it is possible to disable actuation

PVG 100 with closed center PVPV / PVPVP / PVPVM
In load sensing systems the load pressure is led to the pump control via the LS connection (2 in the
diagram below). When the work functions are in the spring neutral position the LS pressure is drained to
tank via the PVG valve. In this condition the pump control sets the displacement so that leakage in the
system is compensated for, to maintain the set stand-by pressure (pump margin). When a main spool is
actuated the pump control will adjust the displacement so that the set differential pressure between P
and LS is maintained.
The PVG100 Inlet LS relief valve (1) is specifically designed to ensure a constant margin pressure across
the main spool, providing demanded regulated flow during maximum load pressure conditions. This
relief adjustment is critical when there are two or more functions being operated together. An incorrectly
adjusted Inlet relief could result in a vast reduction in regulated flow from the adjacent functions that
operate at a lower load pressure. To accurately adjust the inlet LS relief, the pump standby pressure must
be known in addition to the maximum operating load pressure.
Example
Pressure comp pressure level172 bar [2500 psi]
LS standby pressure requirement that delivers the desired flow-20 bar [-290 psi]
Maximum load pressure requirement152 bar [2210 psi]
Inlet relief pressure setting152 bar [2210 psi]
Optional PVPC with check valve option may be used in systems where it is necessary to operate the PVG
100 valve by means of the electrical remote control without pump flow.
For additional information about PVPC refer to publication BC152886483664.
Optional electrically actuated pilot shut off valve PVPP provides additional functional system safety by
removing pilot oil from the electrical actuation or hydraulic actuation system, disabling main spool
actuation. When the PVPP is used with the PVBZ P.O. check valve system it is possible to disable actuation
during mechanical actuation.
PVG 100 basic modules PVB
PVG 100 closed center priority steering PVPVP module
The priority steering version of the PVPV will accommodate pump flows up to 250 l/min [66 US gal/min]
and Control Flow (CF) up to 60 l/min [16 US gal/min] for dynamic steering systems. Additional return port
is included with the PVPVP module.
PVG 100 closed center PVPVM module
The mid-inlet version of the PVPV will accommodate pump flows up to 400 l/min [106 US gal/min]
providing greater efficiency and flexibility when combined with standard and high flow work function
modules.
In the pressure-compensated basic module the compensator (9) maintains a constant pressure drop
across the main spool (11) - both when the load changes and when a module with a higher load pressure
is actuated.
Besides independent flow the other advantage of post-compensated work sections is the ability to
control multifunction operation when flow demand exceeds pump capacity. This means that all work
sections will continue to function regardless of differences in their load and regardless of the pump flow.
The flow relationships specified between functions will be maintained over the full flow range of the
pump.
The shock valves PVLP (10) with fixed setting and the suction valves PVLA on ports A and B are used for
the protection of the individual working function against intermittent pressure overload and/or
cavitation. Optional facilities for dual shock valves for ports A and B provide extra passage area reducing
pressure drop for anti-cavitation applications.
Pilot operated check valve system PVBZ option (6, 8) on ports A and B are uses to reduce the work port to
tank leakage eliminating the need for external actuator load holding in non-critical load holding
applications. All PVG 100 modules contain an integrated T0 drain system to insure optimal performance
for PVBZ and all electrical actuation offerings. T0 is most effective when connected directly to the
hydraulic system reservoir independent of the main Tank return system.
PVG 100 tank modules
Designed for low pressure drop at high return flows all PVT modules include facilities for PVLP shock
valves insuring pressure passage spike protection during pump starvation recovery.

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. The LS setting determines standby pressure.
Typical operating curve
Load sensing circuit
Most load sensing systems use parallel, closed center, control valves with special porting that allows the
highest work function pressure (LS signal) to feed back to the LS control.
Margin pressure is the difference between system pressure and the LS signal pressure. The LS control
monitors margin pressure to read system demand. A drop in margin pressure means the system needs
more flow. A rise in margin pressure tells the LS control to decrease flow.
LS control with bleed orifice (do not use with PVG valves)
The load sense signal line requires a bleed orifice to prevent high-pressure lockup of the pump control.
Most load-sensing control valves include this orifice. An optional internal bleed orifice is available, for use
with control valves that do not internally bleed the LS signal to tank.
Integral PC function
The LS control also performs as a PC control, decreasing pump flow when system pressure reaches the PC
setting. The pressure compensating function has priority over the load sensing function.
For additional system protection, install a relief valve in the pump outlet line.
Single pump can supply flow and regulate pressure for multiple circuits
•
Quick response to system flow and pressure requirements
•
Remote pressure compensated controls
The remote PC control is a two-stage control that allows multiple PC settings. Remote PC controls are
commonly used in applications requiring low and high pressure PC operation.
Typical operating curve
Closed center circuit with remote PC
The remote PC control uses a pilot line connected to an external hydraulic valve. The external valve
changes pressure in the pilot line, causing the PC control to operate at a lower pressure. When the pilot
line is vented to reservoir, the pump maintains pressure at the load sense setting.
When pilot flow is blocked, the pump maintains pressure at the PC setting. An on-off solenoid valve can
be used in the pilot line to create a low-pressure standby mode. A proportional solenoid valve, coupled
with a microprocessor control, can produce an infinite range of operating pressures between the low
pressure standby setting and the PC setting.
Size the external valve and plumbing for a pilot flow of 3.8 l/min [1 US gal/min]. For additional system
protection, install a relief valve in the pump outlet line.
Remote pressure compensated system characteristics:
Constant pressure and variable flow
•
High or low pressure standby mode when flow is not needed
•
System flow adjusts to meet system requirements
•
Single pump can provide flow to multiple work functions
•
Quick response to system flow and pressure requirements
•
PVG 100 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.
Once the closed center valve is opened, the PC control senses the immediate drop in system pressure
and increases pump flow by increasing the swashplate angle.
The pump continues to increase flow until system pressure reaches the PC setting. If system pressure
exceeds the PC setting, the PC control reduces the swashplate angle to maintain system pressure by
reducing flow.
The PC control continues to monitor system pressure and changes swashplate angle to match the output
flow with the work function pressure requirements.
If the demand for flow exceeds the capacity of the pump, the PC control directs the pump to maximum
displacement. In this condition, actual system pressure depends on the actuator load.
Simple closed-center circuit
For additional system protection, install a relief valve in the pump outlet line. * Do not use the PVG 32
with bleed down load sense control.

Typical applications for remote pressure compensated systems:
The friction detent PVMR allows the directional spool to 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. Friction
detent spool position may be affected by high differential actuator flow forces and system vibration
resulting in work function flow reduction.

PVMF, mechanical float position lock
Allows the float spool to be held in the float position after release of the mechanical handle.
PVMF, standard mount only
P → A → F (Push-in)
PVBS, main mpools for flow control (standard)
With post-compensated valves, the A and B work port flow will depend on the pressure drop across the
main spool PVBS.
In open center systems, this pressure drop (standby-pressure) is determined by the volume of fixed pump
flow led to tank across the pressure adjusting spool in the inlet PVPF and the pressure adjusting spool
bias spring pressure. Since the pressure drop varies with pump flow volume led to tank, the A and B work
port flow will vary.
In closed center systems, the pressure drop across the main spool equals the standby setting of the
pump, measured at the P-port of the valve. The A and B work port flow will remain unchanged as long as
the standby is unchanged.
PVBS, main spools for flow control (with linear characteristic)
PVBS main spools with linear characteristic deliver a higher flow gain directly proportional to the linear
spool travel beyond the dead band.
All makes and all types of control valves (including 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.
To determine the degree of protection that is required to be built into the application, system tools such
an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and Hazard and Risk Analysis can be used.
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) IEC EN 61508
FMEA is a tool used for analyzing potential risks. This analytical technique is utilized to define, identify,
and prioritize the elimination or reduction of known and/or potential failures from a given system before
it is released for production.
Please refer to IEC FMEA Standard 61508.
Hazard and risk analysis ISO 12100-1/14121
This analysis is a tool used in new applications as it will indicate whether there are special safety
considerations to be meet according to the machine directives EN 13849.
Dependent on the determined levels conformety this analysis will determine if any extra requirements
for the product design, development process, production process or maintenance, i.e. the complete
product life cycle.
Warning
All makes/brands and types of directional control valves – inclusive proportional valves – can fail and
cause serious damage. It is therefore important to analyze all aspects of the application.
Because the proportional valves are used in many different operation conditions and applications, the
manufacturer of the application is alone responsible for making the final selection of the products – and
assuring that all performance, safety and warning requirements of the application are met.
The process of choosing the control system – and safety levels – is governed by the machine directives
EN 13849 (Safety related requirements for control systems).
