 VDM6 DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE
MONOBLOCK TYPE

GENERAL FEATURES

Among all hydraulic directional control valves used in the field of mobile equipment applications, the spool valve is
the most popular.
The monoblock valve type offers an excellent performance price ratio.

FEATURES
VDM6 directional control valve has the following:
• cast-iron monoblock construction up to 6 spools
• parallel circuit, load check valve protection on down-stream of the pressure "P" line
• tandem circuit, only the first working section, l.c.v. protection + l.c.v. protection on down-stream of the "P" line
• possibility of venting valve
• possibility of power beyond
• spool construction in steel, hardened and nichel-plated to obtain a higher surface hardness and a better corrosion
resistance
• several types of spool: double, single acting, spool motor, float position etc.
• minimum tolerance between the spools and the body to obtain a minimum internal leakage
• interchangeabilty of all the spools
• several spool control devices and spool positioning devices
VALVE AND DEVICE TYPES
In order to meet the most stringent demands and to offer a wider range of applications, the following types of valves
and devices are available:
Valves
• direct main relief valve: controls the maximum pressure in the circuit when one or more spools are on end stroke
located on "A" port side, can be:
direct type version up to 375 bar - 5440 psi
• electric venting valve is available as:
12 or 24 Vdc and normally open or normally closed versions

• cross lever: allows to acting two spools with one manual joystick
• cable remote control
• control device for microswitches: for the operation with electric d.c. motor driven pumps at one or more rotation speeds
• hydraulic kick-out: returns the spool automatically to the neutral position when the pre-set pressure of port "A" or "B" is exceeded
• anti-tilt device: the spool returns automatically in neutral position when the pressure reaches a pre-set value to avoid cranes
from becoming unstable
• pneumatic proportional control available also with float position

Salami directional control valves belong to the 6/3 (or 6/4) type; they can control 6 gallery in 3 (or 4) spool positions
simultaneously.
They are open circuit types: when the spool is in neutral position, the fluid flows directly to the tank with minimum
internal pressure drops (approximatively 1 bar / 14.5 psi for each spool at nominal flow).
When the spool is moved from this position, the neutral gallery is gradually throttled and the connection between
pump and actuator, through the corresponding port, is made.
When pressure exceeds the value of the pressure existing in port A or B, the fluid flows through the load check valve
to the actuator.

There are two characteristic phases in the spool stroke (6 mm - 0,236 in.):
a) the overlap phase (about 18% of the stroke) guarantees minimum internal leakages in neutral position;
b) the progressive flow regulation phase (82% of the stroke).
Both pictures show a 6/3 valve type with double acting spool only as principle of functioning.
Salami VDM6 is available in different solutions.

HYDRAULIC FLUIDS

Usually a mineral-base oil with a good viscosity index should be used, preferably with good lubricating properties
and corrosion, oxidation and foaming resistant.
Sometimes the fluids supplied by the manufacturers do not satisfy purity requirements (see page 3 WORKING
CONDITIONS). It is therefore necessary to filter the fluid carefully before filling. Your supplier can give you the
information about NAS class of its fluids. To maintain the proper purity class, the use of filters of high dirt capacity
with clogging indicator is recommended.
Under humidity conditions it is necessary to use hygroscopic salts.
For operation with fire resistant and ecological fluids, please contact our technical department.

INSTALLATION

When proceeding to mount the unit on the structure and to connect fittings to work ports, it is necessary to comply
with the values of tightening torques.
The attachment of linkages to spools should not affect their operation. The mounting position can be vertical with
inlet module on the top or horizontal.

30 / 22.1 30 / 22.1 60 / 44.2

FILTRATION
The contamination of the fluid in the system greatly affects the life of the unit. Above all, contamination may result in
irregular operation, wear of seals in valve housings and failures. Once the initial contamination level of the system
has been reached, it is necessary to limit any increase of contamination installing an efficient filtration system (see
working conditions page 3).

PIPES

Pipes should be as short as possible, without restrictions or sharp bends (especially the return lines).
Before connecting pipes to the fittings of the corresponding components, make sure that they are free from burrs and
other contamination.
As a first approximation, for a mobile machine with standard length pipes, their width should guarantee the following
values of fluid speed*:

6 ÷ 10 m/sec inlet pipe 19,7 ÷ 32,8 ft/sec inlet pipe

3 ÷ 5 m/sec outlet pipe 9,9 ÷ 16,4 ft/sec outlet pipe

the lowest values of fluid speed are required in case of wide temperature range and/or for continuous duty.

Assembling recommendations
The monoblock you need to install the manifold is a special machined monoblock.
The manifold with double VUP valve can be assembled on all the working sections, but not consecutive working sections.
Remember that in case you need to install it in the first working section you must have also the inlet port PL.
At the same way if you need to install it in the last section you must have also the outlet ports TL and TL1.

SPOOL CONTROLS AND SPOOL POSITIONINGS

This picture shows the VDM6 assembled, in this case you have
a manual control "NL" on A side and a spring return in neutral
NLA position "C2" on B side. Considering that VDM6 is a simmetrical
T side valve, all spool controls and positionings can be placed on both
sides A or B.In case of hydraulic kick-out "G2 - G4 - G5" and
with spools types 13 - 17 - 18, you can also decide from A or B
side but after that this is the final position because with this type
of control and spools the monoblock have a special machining.

In this and following pages you can find all spool controls and
spool positionings, they are all assembled with socket hexagon
head screw or in some case hexagon head screw:
M5 x 0.8 with tightening torque of 4.5 ± 0.5 Nm.

 VDM6 DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE
MONOBLOCK TYPE

ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC CONTROL IS AVAILABLE ONLY FOR ONE WORKING SECTION MONOBLOC

Preliminary specifications about electro-hydraulic controls
Before to introduce electro-hydraulic single modules it is necessary to specify the adding hydraulic components
necessary for the right functioning of it.As you can see in the drawing and hydraulic scheme it needs a pressure
reducing valve "PRV" at the inlet of piloting circuit that reduce the pressure of "P" line at the max value of 25 bar (363
psi), some accessories as fittings, pipe and filter.We suggest you to forecast a back pressure valve manifold on the
"T" line setting to assure a minimum pressure of 8 bar (116 psi).This value of back pressure is necessary to the right
functioning of electo-hydraulic control. The pressure reduction at the piloting circuit inlet
can be obteined also with external
standard valves made by valve
Pp - in case without pipe thread G1/8 female manufacturer, for this reason
Salami electro-hydraulic controls
Pp line can be supplied without "PRV".
In this case is necessary to specify
it in phase of order.
PRV
Our standard supply has the "Tp"
port opened, we recommend to
connect it directly to tank because
a counter-pressure could be cause
PL of malfunction.
