The Eaton DG4V-3-0BL-M-U-C6-60 is a subplate-mounted, wet-armature, solenoid-operated directional control valve from the versatile DG4V-3 series. It is designed as a reliable and compact solution for controlling the direction of hydraulic flow in a wide range of industrial and mobile applications.
Parameter Specification / Description
Manufacturer & Model Eaton DG4V-3-0BL-M-U-C6-60
Valve Type Solenoid-Operated, Spring-Return, Directional Control Valve (Wet-Armature)
Series DG4V-3
Size / Interface Size 03 (Mounts to ISO 4401-03 / NFPA D03 subplate)
Port Size Typically 3/8" - 24 UNF, 7/16"-20 UNF, or M18x1.5. Pilot/drain ports are smaller.
Number of Positions 2-Position (Solenoid Actuated / Spring Return)
Number of Ways 4-Way (Ports: P (Pump), T (Tank), A (Actuator 1), B (Actuator 2))
Spool Type M – A specific Eaton spool designation. Typically provides a closed port (blocked) center in the spring-off position. Exact flow path must be confirmed via catalog spool symbol.
Actuator Code -0BL- : B = Single Solenoid, L = Spring Return on opposite end. 0 is a placeholder. This is a wet-armature coil.
Electrical Connector -U- : Standard DIN 43650 Form A connector with LED.
Coil Version -C6- : Standard coil class with specific electrical characteristics (e.g., Class F insulation, standard duty cycle).
Solenoid Voltage (Typical) Common: DC12V, 24V, or 110V; AC options available. Must be specified/confirmed separately. The "-60" may relate to coil voltage code.
Maximum Operating Pressure Up to 350 bar (5,000 psi)
Rated Flow (ΔP = 5 bar) Approx. 15 l/min (4.0 US gpm) – Characteristic flow for Size 03. Actual flow varies with spool type and pressure drop.
Maximum Recommended Flow Up to ~ 30 l/min (8 US gpm) depending on allowable pressure drop.
Response Time Typical shift time: ~ 25 - 50 milliseconds.
Duty Cycle Continuous (100% duty cycle) capable due to wet-armature cooling.
Electrical Protection Coil housing typically provides IP65 protection (dust-tight and protected against water jets) with connector mated.
Recommended Fluid Mineral-based hydraulic oils to ISO 11158 (e.g., HV32 or HV46).
Required Filtration Minimum ISO 4406 20/18/15 recommended for reliable operation.
Fluid Temperature Range -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F) for standard seals.
Viscosity Range 10 to 400 cSt (50 to 2000 SUS)
Weight (Approx.) ~ 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs)
