Rexroth 8-position manual shift valve 8P-1S/P55556-3 in stock.

$299.47

The Rexroth 8-position manual shift valve's opening and closing mechanism consists of a valve disc (also called a valve plate or valve core), a valve stem, and a drive mechanism (handwheel). The valve stem is screwed onto the valve cover with a trapezoidal thread. The handwheel and valve disc are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the valve stem. Turning the handwheel raises or lowers the valve stem, causing the valve disc to move closer to or away from the valve seat to close or open. The valve disc fits tightly against the valve seat, and the pressure from the valve stem keeps the valve disc pressed firmly against the valve seat. At this time, the valve is in the closed state, and the valve is airtight and leak-proof.

Rexroth manual shift valves are directional control valves with two or more flow patterns and two or more ports. They are valves used to achieve the communication, cut-off, and reversal of hydraulic oil flow, as well as pressure unloading and sequential action control.

Rexroth Manual Shift Valve Working Principle

The six-way directional valve mainly consists of a valve body, sealing components, cam, valve stem, handle, and valve cover (Figure 1). The valve is driven by the handle, which drives the valve stem and cam to rotate. The cam has the functions of positioning, driving, and locking the opening and closing of the sealing components. When the handle is rotated counterclockwise, the two sets of sealing components close the two lower channels under the action of the cam, while the two upper channels are connected to the inlet of the pipeline device. Conversely, the two upper channels are closed, while the two lower channels are connected to the inlet of the pipeline device, achieving non-stop directional switching.

(1) The valve body of the six-way valve is divided into two chambers by a partition, each chamber having three channels, with the middle being the oil inlet and both ends being the oil outlets. The valve body is a welded carbon steel plate structure, small in size, light in weight, and compact in structure, improving material utilization, shortening the production cycle, and reducing costs. The sealing surface is overlaid with stainless steel, which is rust-proof and corrosion-resistant. After precision machining, the sealing surface is polished and ground, with a surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm.

(2) The six-way valve has two sets of sealing assemblies. Each set of sealing assemblies (Figure 2) consists of a valve disc, sealing ring, adjusting block, adjusting screw, clamping plate, and bolts. The valve disc is a welded carbon steel plate component with reinforcing ribs, which both increase the strength of the valve disc and provide guidance, ensuring the coaxiality between each set of valve discs. A polyurethane rubber ring is embedded in the valve disc. This material is characterized by oil resistance, wear resistance, stable performance, good sealing, and long service life. Under the action of the cam, the spherical surface of the sealing ring contacts the sealing surface of the valve body, generating compressive elastic deformation to achieve a sealing effect. The adjusting block and adjusting screw can be used to adjust when the two sets of sealing components cannot be in place synchronously, ensuring that the sealing performance of each channel is synchronized.

(3) The axial seal between the valve stem and the valve body partition and the upper valve cover uses an O-ring.

(4) The valve body partition and the shaft hole of the upper valve cover are inlaid with copper sleeves, which can reduce the frictional torque between the valve and the O-ring, making the sealing components flexible in opening and closing and requiring low operating torque.

(5) The upper valve cover is equipped with an indicator plate and limit screws, and a pointer is installed on the valve stem to clearly indicate the connection status of each channel, making it easy to operate.
