DSG-01-70 Series Solenoid Operated Directional Valves

DSG-01-70 Series Solenoid Operated Directional Valves (YUKEN)
The DSG-01-70 Series is a high-performance 1/8″ solenoid operated directional control valve line from YUKEN (Yuken Kogyo Co., Ltd.), a leading global manufacturer of hydraulic components. This “70 Design” series represents the latest generation of YUKEN’s DSG-01 valves, featuring advanced engineering for superior pressure handling, flow capacity, and energy efficiency.

Core Features

  • High Pressure & High Flow Performance:
    • Maximum operating pressure: 35 MPa (5,076 psi)
    • Maximum flow rate: 100 L/min (26.4 US gpm)60% increase over previous 60 Design models (63 L/min)
    • Low pressure drop design reduces energy consumption and heat generation
  • Advanced Design Elements:
    • Powerful wet-type solenoid (AC/DC options) with excellent heat dissipation for extended service life
    • 5-chamber valve body structure enabling optimized flow path design
    • Compact and lightweight construction (approx. 2.2 kg) despite high performance capabilities
    • IP65 protection rating (standard) for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments
    • Fast response time: ≤50 ms for precise control

Spool Configurations & Functions

The DSG-01-70 Series offers various spool types to meet diverse application requirements:
  1. Two-position valves (e.g., 2B2, 2B3B):
    1. Spring return or spring offset configurations
    2. Used for simple on/off or direction control of single-acting cylinders or motors
  2. Three-position valves (e.g., 3C2, 3C4):
    1. Center position options:
      • 3C2: P blocked, A/B/T connected (Tandem center)
      • 3C4: P/A/B/T all blocked (Float center)
    2. Used for precise control of double-acting cylinders and reversible motors

Applications

The DSG-01-70 Series is widely used in industrial hydraulic systems requiring high performance and reliability:
  • Machine Tools: CNC machining centers, injection molding machines, presses
  • Mobile Hydraulics: Construction equipment, agricultural machinery, material handling systems
  • Industrial Automation: Robotics, automated production lines, test equipment
  • Energy Systems: Power generation equipment, renewable energy systems
  • Marine & Offshore: Shipboard hydraulic systems, offshore platforms

Installation & Maintenance Tips

  1. Mounting: Use JIS B 8374 compliant sub-bases; ensure proper alignment and torque
  2. Fluid Cleanliness: Maintain ISO 4406 Class 18/15 or better for optimal performance
  3. Solenoid Connection: Use appropriate connectors for IP65 protection; avoid water ingress
  4. Temperature Control: Keep fluid temperature within -25°C to 90°C range
  5. Regular Inspection: Check for leaks, unusual noise, or performance degradation; replace seals as needed
