Hydraulic Solenoid Valves – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydraulic solenoid valve and how does it work?
A hydraulic solenoid valve is an electromechanical valve that precisely controls fluid flow in hydraulic systems. It consists of a solenoid coil and a valve body. Its operation is based on electromagnetic force: when current flows through the coil, the valve body moves to open or close the flow path. This allows the fluid flow to be electrically controlled and automated.
Why are hydraulic valves, especially solenoid valves, so important in hydraulic systems?
Hydraulic valves are key energy control elements. They regulate force, torque, speed, rotational speed, and direction of movement at the actuator. Solenoid valves additionally offer the advantage of electrical actuation, enabling precise and automated control – for example in pneumatic control, chemical dosing, or in the control of gas and fluid flows.
What are the main types of solenoid valves and what are they suitable for?
- Direct-operated solenoid valves: Simple design, suitable for low pressures and small nominal sizes (e.g. NG10).
- Pilot-operated solenoid valves: With pilot stage, suitable for higher pressures and larger flow rates.
- Normally closed (NC) solenoid valves: Closed without power, open when energized – ideal for safety-critical applications.
Hydromot offers, among others, direct-operated directional spool valves (4/2, 4/3, 6/2) up to NG10.
What are NG04 (CETOP 2) solenoid valves and where are they used?
NG04/CETOP 2 solenoid valves are compact directional control valves (usually 4/2 or 4/3-way) that are mounted on standardized subplates (ISO 4401/DIN 24340). They are interchangeable with products from many manufacturers and are suitable for:
- Industrial hydraulic systems and presses
- Machine tools and injection molding machines
- Agricultural and construction machinery
- Compact hydraulic power units
What technical specifications and features are typical for NG04/CETOP 2 solenoid valves?
- Nominal size: NG04 (CETOP 2), subplate size approx. 32x60 mm
- Max. operating pressure: 250–350 bar (depending on manufacturer)
- Max. flow rate: typically 20–40 l/min, special versions up to 90 l/min
- Control voltage: 12/24 V DC or 115/220 V AC
- Mounting interface: ISO 4401/CETOP 2
- Materials: cast steel housing, hardened spools, NBR/FKM seals
- Symbols: 4/2-, 4/3-, 6/2-way directional control valves in various configurations
What maintenance and protection measures are required for solenoid valves?
- Check and clean filters regularly
- Inspect for leaks and coil functionality
- Replace seals if necessary
- Solenoid coils can be replaced in case of defect
- Maintenance only when depressurized and disconnected from power
- Service life >10 million switching cycles with clean operation
What should be considered when selecting the right solenoid valve?
- Pressure and flow values: must match the application
- Control voltage & protection class: e.g. 12V/24V, IP65
- Circuit symbol & number of ways: 4/2, 4/3, 6/2 depending on function
- Materials & seals: suitable for the medium (e.g. mineral oil, HFC)
- Standard compatibility: consider CETOP/ISO subplate dimensions
