While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Bosch Rexroth directly.***
The Bosch Rexroth 4WP10M3X/12 (R978870735) is a high-performance directional spool valve designed for the precise control of fluid flow in hydraulic systems. This valve is part of the WP series, known for their reliable operation in controlling the start, stop, and direction of flow. The 4WP10M3X/12 features a robust housing and utilizes pneumatic actuation to shift the control spool to its desired position. This movement is facilitated by an actuation cylinder, while one or two return springs ensure that the spool returns to its central or initial position when not energized. The model's design excludes the version O characteristic where return springs are not used to hold the spool at rest. Additionally, it includes a throttle insert option for scenarios where operating conditions might cause excessive flows during switching processes, potentially surpassing the valve's performance limit. The 4WP10M3X/12 adheres to ISO porting pattern standards, which ensures compatibility with various hydraulic systems. With a component series X designation, this valve can withstand a maximum operating pressure of up to several hundred bar and can manage maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute (l/min), making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require robust performance and reliable directional control of fluids within hydraulic circuits. Its pneumatic operating method provides responsive control and contributes to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic systems where this valve is deployed.

Valves of type WP are fluidically actuated directional spool valves.

They control the start, stop and direction of a flow.

The directional valves basically consist of housing (1), one type of actuation (2.2) (pneumatic actuation cylinder), control spool (3) and one or two return springs (4).

When de-energized, the control spool (3) is held in the central position or in the initial position by the return springs (4) (except for version "O").

The control spool (3) is moved to the desired spool position by means of the types of actuation.

Throttle insert

The use of a throttle insert is required when, due to prevailing operating conditions, flows occur during the switching processes which exceed the performance limit of the valve.

1) When the admissible valve performance limit is exceeded, throttle inserts are to be installed (see Performance limits).
2) When throttle inserts are used in channel T, the pressure in the working ports and in case of connection to the tank chambers must not exceed 210 bar.

Performance limits

(measured with HLP46, ϑOil = 40 ±5 °C)

 

Notice!

The specified performance limits are valid for use with two directions of flow (e. g. from P to A and simultaneous return flow from B to T).

Due to the flow forces acting within the valves, the admissible performance limit may be considerably lower with only one direction of flow (e. g. from P to A while port B is blocked)!

In such use cases, please consult us!

Notices!

Deviating from ISO 4401, port T is referred to as TA and port T1 is referred to as TB in this data sheet. The dimensions are nominal dimensions which are subject to tolerances. When screwing in/releasing the connection tube on the pilot oil port (9), the bushing (10) must be secured against twisting by using an open-end wrench.
