The Eaton DG4V-3-2C-M-U-H7-60 is a high-performance, wet-armature servo-proportional directional control valve from Eaton's precision DG4V series, in a compact Size 03 package. It is engineered for closed-loop or high-performance open-loop systems that demand precise, dynamic, and proportional control of flow and direction in a space-constrained environment.
Technical Parameters / Specifications
Parameter Specification / Description
Manufacturer & Model Eaton DG4V-3-2C-M-U-H7-60
Valve Type Servo-Proportional Directional Control Valve (Wet-Armature, with LVDT)
Series / Size DG4V-3 (Size 03)
Mounting Interface ISO 4401-03 (CETOP 3, NFPA D03) subplate
Port Size (Main) Typically 3/8"-24 UNF, 7/16"-20 UNF, or M18x1.5
Port Size (Drain) Typically 7/16"-20 UNF or M14x1.5
Spool Type M – Specific Eaton proportional spool designation. Exact flow characteristics are defined by Eaton's performance curves.
Spool Overlap Zero Lap / Servo Lap (For precise linear control around null)
Actuator Type -2C- : Force Motor with integral LVDT position feedback.
Electrical Connector -U- : Standard multi-pin connector (commonly a 10-pin or 12-pin military-style connector).
Coil / Electronics Version -H7- : High-performance version with optimized dynamics.
Command Signal Typically ±10 VDC or ±20 mA.
LVDT Feedback Signal Typically ±10 VDC (representing actual spool position).
Power Supply (for Electronics) Typically +24 VDC ±10%. Must be verified with datasheet.
Maximum Operating Pressure Up to 350 bar (5,000 psi)
Rated Flow (ΔP = 35 bar) Approx. 8 - 15 l/min (2.1 - 4.0 US gpm). Critical to check exact value from catalog flow curves for spool type "M".
Frequency Response (-3 dB, 100% signal) High, typically > 70 Hz or higher for the -H7- version. Exact value depends on test conditions (amplitude, pressure).
Hysteresis Very Low, typically < 1.0%
Linearity Typically < ±2.0%
Null Bias / Threshold Typically < 1% of rated signal
Required Fluid Cleanliness Extremely Critical. Minimum ISO 4406 16/13/11 or better is mandatory for reliable long-term operation.
Recommended Fluid Mineral-based hydraulic oils to ISO 11158 (e.g., HV32 or HV46).
Fluid Temperature Range -20°C to +80°C (-4°F to +176°F) for standard seals.
Weight (Approx.) ~ 2.0 kg (4.4 lbs)
