Item 1 Main block.

Item 2 Directional control valve 4/3.

This is a three position directional spool valve with hand lever. When
activating the directional valve handle, the operator controls the direction and
drive speed of the drum. Throttling groves in the main spool open
progressively for flow either to A or B port.
Option code 37:
The directional valve is prepared to be hydraulically proportional remote
controlled. Pilot pressure 5-20 bar.

Item C Counterbalance valve A→T.

The counter balance valve keeps the load under control during lowering
operations.
Throttling groves in the counter balance spool open progressively for flow
from A→T port, and thus give a smooth lowering operation.
Pilot ratio counterbalance valve: 4.5:1
Factory preset to 325 bar.

Item Q Adjustable throttling.

Throttling for the counter balance pilot channel. For dampening the counter
balance valve if the valve is fluctuating.
Factory preset to ½ turn counter clockwise (ccw) from closed position.

Item CA Check-valve free flow P→A.

Bypassing the counter balance valve in Heave.

Item D Pressure relief valve A→B.

The pilot operated pressure relief is connected between motor ports A→B to
secure the hydraulic motor and limit the maximum pressure.
Pilot operated pressure relief valve will in some application be used as a
mooring valve, to keep a constant tension on the drum. Tension pressure
can either be adjusted by a hand wheel (option MAM) or remote controlled
by port MX.
If presetting is not stated in the order, the pressure relief valve item D is set to
its minimum.

Generally about the pressure compensator system.

This is a load independent system, which means that a given spool stroke on
the directional valve will give equal flow independent of the motor/drum load.
The main directional spool (2) in conjunction with the pressure compensator
flow control system (P, PA, PB, PC and Z), regulates the proportional oil flow
to either A (Heave rotation) or B (Lower rotation) by sensing the pressure
either in A or B line through the shuttle valve (PC). When operating directional
valve (2), the spool will open progressively to A or B. The pressure
compensation element will maintain equal an Δp across the directional valve.
Maximum flow over the main directional valve is depending on the force
induced on the pressure compensator element (P). This force is made up of a
spring force in the compensator element item (P), and an adjustable spring
force in the compensator pilot valve (PA) and the load pressure sensing in A or
B via (PC). When the setting is altered on the compensator pilot valve (PA),
the flow will change.
When adjusting pressure relief valve PA, the Δp through the directional valve
will alter, and thus maximum flow to the hydraulic motor.

Item PC Shuttle valve for the pressure compensator.

Port V can be used for load sensing or in some applications for a hydraulically
operated brake release valve.

Item P Pressure compensator element.

Normally open modulating element, which acts as a pressure compensator to
maintain a constant pressure drop across the directional valve (together with
PC, PB, PA and Z).

Item Z Dampening nozzle for the pressure compensator element.

Item PB Nozzle.
Maintains flow to compensator pilot valve PA.

Item PA Compensator pilot valve.

The spring is rather weak. Therefore, pressure created by an adjustable
pressure relief valve is added to the spring force.

INSTALLATION
The Modular unit 8MB is installed with 2 off screws with thread dimension M12x25 to a
bracket, or mounted to a motor flange by an adapter plate. Please refer to ‘Interfaces’ in
section ‘TECHNICAL DATA’, for details about screws and o-rings.

OPERATION
Manual control is performed by the hand lever. The valve is delivered with a centring spring,
which means that the main spool will return to the neutral position after operating the hand
lever.

Option 37 (Manual/remote operated):

Directional valve is prepared to be hydraulic proportional remote controlled. An external pilot
pressure moves the spool to the requested position Pilot pressure 5-20 bar. The valve is
equipped with a hand lever to override the pilot pressure.

VALVE ADJUSTMENTS
If presetting is not stated in the order, the pressure relief valve (item D) is set to its minimum.
The counterbalance valve is preset to 325 bar opening pressure. Recommended presetting for
the counterbalance valve is 1.3 times the maximum load pressure.
(250 bar load pressure x 1.3 = 325 bar).
Throttling item Q is factory preset to ½ ccw turn from closed position.

MAINTENANCE
Check the valve for proper function. Visually check the valve and if required, paint unpainted
(damaged) areas.

CAUTION: Do not paint the hand levers shaft seals.

SPARE PART
Seal Kit Set is available.

STORAGE
If storage longer than 6 months is expected, the valve must be kept in a dry room, free from
dust and protected against sudden large temperature variations. For storage longer than 12
months, the valve must be filled with inhibition oil. Before use check all visible seals and
flush with clean oil.

MARKING
Inlets and outlets are marked; refer to figure in section ‘GENERAL DESCRIPTION’.
