All types and brands of control valves, including proportional valves, can fail. Therefore, the necessary
protection against the serious consequences of a functional failure should always be built into the
system.
General safety considerations
For each application an assessment should be made for the consequences of the system in case of
pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked movements.
Warning
Because the proportional valve is used in many different applications and under different operating
conditions, it is the sole responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that all performance, safety and
warning requirements of the application is met in his selection of products and complies with relevant
machine specific and generic standards.
Control system example
An example of a control system using an aerial lift is shown below:
Aerial lift
This example breaks down the control system into smaller bits explaining the architecture in depth. Even
though many Danfoss components are used in the PVG control system.
The function of the control system is to use the output from the PVE together other external sensors to
ensure the PLUS+1 main controllers correct function of the aerial lift.
It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer that the control system incorporated in the
machine is declared as being in conformity with the relevant machine directives.
Caution
A mix of electrical actuation and hydraulic actuation on the same valve stack is not safe. PVE and PVH are
designed for different pilot pressure.
Cost-free repairs, as mentioned in Danfoss General Conditions of Sale, are carried out only at Danfoss or
at service shops authorized by Danfoss.
PVG is a hydraulic, load-sensing proportional valve, designed for optimal machine performance and
maximum design flexibility.
The PVG valve design is based on a modular concept that enables machine designers to specify a valve
solution suitable for multiple market segments across multiple applications.
The load independent proportional control valve and high performance actuator technology combined
with a low pressure drop design improves the machine performance and efficiency – increasing
productivity and reducing energy consumption.
Features of the PVG 128/256 valve
•
Inlet flow up to 1200 l/min [317 US gal/min]
•
Compact sectional platform solution for easy integration with PVG 16 and PVG 32

Oil flow to an individual function is independent of the load pressure of this function
‒
Oil flow to one function is independent of the load pressure of other functions
‒
•
Reliable regulation characteristics across the entire flow range
•
Load sense relief valves for A and B port enables reduced energy loss at target pressure
•
Optimized for lower pressure drop and higher efficiency
•
Several options for connection threads and flange mount
•
Compact design, easy installation and serviceability
•
Static Load sense system when selecting pump control
The Closed Center PVPV inlet with integrated pilot pressure reduction valve (PPRV) for PVE activation is
intended for use with variable displacement pumps in applications where a valve group with electrohydraulic or hydraulically controlled work sections is desired.
All Variants are prepared for 2xPVLP shock/anti-cavitation valves for pressure peak protection and anticavitation prevention.
PVLPs are for pressure peak protection in the system and pump.
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.
All variants have internal T0 to tank connection in the PVSI and PVGI end plates.
The PVPV 256 inlet module variants are based on a generic platform with a selection of additional
features, enabling you to tailor the PVPV inlet to suit the demands of any hydraulic system.
