Today, they engineer innovative products and solutions for optimum performance of mobile equipment, regardless of the technology, with seamless integration of electronics, electric driving power and hydraulics.

General Description

PVG is a hydraulic, load-sensing proportional valve, designed for optimal machine performance and maximum design flexibility. The Danfoss 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 PVG 16 is a member of the PVG product platform and interfaces to other valve families enabling all machine functions being controlled from one single valve stack.

PVG 16 controls work port flow up to 65 l/min [17 US gal/min] l/min and up to 420 bar [6090 psi] bar work port pressure.

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.

PVG 16 Features

PVG load-sensing proportional valves features and benefits summarized in bullets below:

• Load-independent flow control: ‒ 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
• Inlet flow up to 140 l/min [37 US gal/min] 230 l/min [61 US gal/min] when used with mid-inlet
• Easy integration with PVG 32
• Possible combination with the rest of the Danfoss PVG Valves family, when using an interface module
• Up to 12 basic modules per PVG 16 valve group
• Reliable regulation characteristics across the entire flow range
• Load sense relief valves for A and B port enables reduced energy loss at target pressure Several options for connection threads and flange mount
• Compact design, easy installation and serviceability Technical Information PVG 16 Proportional Valve Group G

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. [Read more]
