APPLICATION
Directional spool valves type WEH16… electro-
hydraulically operated are intended for change in
direction of fluid flow in a system and thus it allows
to change direction of movement of a receiver -
mostly piston rod of a cylinder or hydraulic motor as
well to use functions: on and off. These directional
spool valves are used for subplate mounting in any
position in a hydraulic system.
The directional spool valve type WEH16… is complied
with the regulations of directive 2006/95/WE for the
following voltages:
•50
50 – 250 V for AC
•75
75 – 250 V for DC

Stroke limiter
Stroke limiter of the spool may be mounted:
mounted:
• stroke limiter on valve ends A and B ...4WEH16.../...12. ..

• stroke limiter on valve end A 10 (max)
version ...4WEH16.../...11... S24
• stroke limiter on valve end B
version ...4WEH16.../...12...
Adjustment of the stroke of the main spool is by S6
rotating the pin (3) and securing with locknut (4).
Rotating the pin (3) clockwise reduces the stroke of
the main spool (2). While adjusting the stroke the 2 1 4 3
control chamber must be at zero pressure.
