Directional control valves — series, symbols and documentation
Find documentation for electrically, hydraulically and mechanically operated directional valves. Start with the full ordering code and hydraulic symbol; a series name or NG size alone does not establish interchangeability.
Our store has its own language selector. Choose English in the store if needed. For a delivery enquiry, include your destination country and postcode.
Manufacturer documents are provided in their original language; the language may vary by file. Series-level ratings are a guide: check the exact model and operating conditions in its data sheet.
Legacy Eaton / Vickers names remain in some catalogues and nameplates. Check current product information in Danfoss PowerSource and compare the complete part number. A brand-name change alone does not confirm interchangeability.

Electrically operated directional control valves
Eaton Vickers DG4V, KDG4V, Yuken DSG, DSHG, DSHGN
The documentation covers Yuken DSG-01, 03, DSHG-03, 04, 06, 10 and Eaton Vickers DG4V-3M, DG4V-3, DG4V-5, DG5V-7, DG3V-7, DG5V-8 and DG3V-8 directional valves (Eaton Vickers 02-108). For proportional control, see Yuken ELDFG and ELDFHG and Eaton KBS1 and KBH1 documentation (Eaton 852AN00). Other referenced proportional series include KDG4V-3S, 5, 7, 8 and KBDG4V-3S, 5, 7, 8 with onboard electronics. Position-monitoring options include Yuken DSHGN and Eaton Vickers DG4V-3/5-S7 and DG4V-3/5-S9. Flow, pressure, service life and monitoring functions depend on the exact configuration; verify them in the relevant catalogue and application assessment.

In a directly operated valve, the energised solenoid moves the main spool. In a pilot-operated valve, the solenoid shifts a smaller pilot valve, which directs oil to move the main spool. Check the pilot pressure, drain arrangement and electrical specification for the selected model.
NG6 and NG10 spool valves are widely used in hydraulic systems. Contact us with the full code to confirm the required configuration and current availability.
Examples include Eaton Vickers DG4V-3/5 and Yuken DSG-01/03. Referenced ordering codes include DSG-01-3C2-D24-N-70, DSG-01-3C4-D24-N-70, DSG-01-3C3-D24-N-70, DG4V36CMUH760, DG4V32CMUH760 and DG4V30CMUH760. Always compare the complete specification before selecting an alternative.
NG6–NG10 proportional and servo-performance spool valves. Compare flow characteristics, control signals, response and feedback options to select a valve for the application.
Referenced series include Eaton Vickers KBS1-03/05, Yuken ELDFG and Eaton Vickers KFDG4V-3, KFTG4V-3, BFDG4V-3 and KBFTG4V-3. Electrical interfaces and communication options vary by model and electronics version.
Special NG6–NG10 spool valve configurations. Check the manufacturer's documentation for the required features and any applicable certification for the exact model.

Yuken DHG
Yuken DHG
Yuken DHG hydraulically operated directional valves use a hydraulic pilot signal. They may be suitable where electrical operation is impractical or where the machine already provides the required hydraulic control signal.
Mechanically operated directional valves, NG6–NG32
Yuken DMG, DMT
Yuken DMG, DMT
Yuken DMG and DMT mechanically operated directional valves can be used in suitable simple circuits or as replacement components in existing machinery. Match the mounting, actuation and hydraulic function to the application.
Directional valves with spool position monitoring, NG6–NG32

Yuken DSHGN-04/6/10, Eaton Vickers DG4V-3/5-S7/S9
Spool position monitoring can provide a signal indicating valve position. Its role in a machine's safety system must be determined by the machine's risk assessment and control-system design. A monitoring option alone does not establish the safety performance of the complete system.
