Selecting the size:

When selecting the size of the 6MB modular unit, the pressure drop in the system must be
taken into consideration. Proper control of the winches is another important factor. To achieve
this, a certain pressure drop over the main direction valve is necessary. Refer to pages for
pressure drop curves.

Item 1 Main block.

Item 2 Directional control valve 4/3.

This is a three positions directional spool valve with hand lever. When
activating the directional valve handle, the operator controls the direction and
drive speed of the drum. Throttling grooves in the main spool open
progressively for flow either to A or B port. The spool has adjustable end
stoppers in both end covers for limiting of the spool stroke. A shorter travel of
the spool will result in an increase of the pressure drop through the spool and
an increase of maximum flow thought the valve.
Option code 37:
Directional valve is prepared to be hydraulically proportional remote
controlled.
Pilot pressure 5-20 bar.

Item C Counterbalance valve A→T.

The counter balance valve keeps the load under control during lowering
operations.
Throttling groves in the counter balance spool open progressively for flow
from A→T port, and thus give a smooth lowering operation and low
pressure rise with full flow. The counterbalance spool opens by a pilot
pressure taken from line B.
Factory preset to 40 bar.

Item Q Adjustable throttling.

Throttling for the counter balance pilot channel.
Factory preset to ½ turn counter clockwise (ccw) from closed position.

Item CA Check-valve free flow P→A

Bypassing the counter balance valve in Heave.

Item D Pressure relief valve A→B

This pilot operated pressure relief valve will in some application be used as a
mooring valve, to keep a constant tension on the drum, or freewheeling of the
hydraulic motor. Tension pressure can either be adjusted by a hand wheel
(option MAM) or remote controlled by port MX.
If presetting is not stated in the order, the pressure relief valve item D is set to
its minimum.

Item DA Anti-cavitation check valve

Boosting from T to B

General
Measures must be taken to ensure that cavitation cannot occur in a hydraulic
system. Therefore, a certain flow must be applied to A or B to replace internal
leakage. It is important to prevent boosting oil from running out of the
boosting system. A check valve with opening pressure of 2-3 bar in T will
usually satisfy this. As far as possible, internal leakage from the hydraulic
motor should be connected before the check valve in T. Remember to check
max motor casing return pressure against system return pressure.

Standard Boosting 6MB

6MB has internal boosting from T to B as standard. Also a certain flow will
leak through nozzle PB, and shuttle valve PC to either A or B.

Generally about the pressure compensator system.

This is a load independent system, which means that a fixed spool stroke on
the directional valve will give equal flow independent of the load at the
motor/drum.
The main directional spool (2) in conjunction with pressure compensator flow
control system (P, PA, PB, PC and Z), regulates proportional oil flow to either
A (Heave rotation) or B (Lower rotation) by sensing the pressure either in A or
B line through the shuttle valve (PC). When operating directional valve (2), the
spool will open progressively to A or B. Pressure compensation element will
maintain equal Δp across the directional valve. Maximum flow over the main
directional valve is depending on the force induced on the pressure
compensator element (P). This force is made up of a spring force in the
compensator element item (P), and an adjustable spring force in the
compensator pilot valve (PA) and the load pressure sensing in A or B via
(PC). When setting is altered on the compensator pilot valve (PA), the flow
will change.
When adjusting pressure relief valve PA, the Δp through the directional valve
will alter, and thus maximum flow to the hydraulic motor.

Item PC Shuttle valve for the pressure compensator.

Port V can be used for load sensing or in some applications for a hydraulically
operated brake release valve.

Item P Pressure compensator element.

Normally opens the modulating element, which acts as a pressure
compensator to maintain a constant pressure drop across the directional
valve (together with PC, PB, PA and Z).

Item Z Adjustable throttling.

Adjustable throttle for the pressure compensator element, if the element is
fluctuating.

Item PB Nozzle
Maintains flow to compensator pilot valve PA.

Item PA Compensator pilot valve.

The spring on the compensator is rather weak. Therefore, pressure created by
an adjustable pressure relief valve is added to the spring force.

INSTALLATION
The Modular unit 6MB is installed with 4 screws to a bracket, or mounted to a motor flange
by an adapter plate. Please refer to ‘Interfaces’ in section ‘TECHNICAL DATA’, for details
about screws and o-rings.

OPERATION
Manual control is performed by the hand lever. The valve is delivered with a centring spring,
which means that main spool will return to the neutral position after operating the hand lever.

Option 37 (Manual/remote operated):

The directional valve is prepared to be hydraulically proportional remote controlled. An
external pilot pressure moves the spool to the requested position Pilot pressure 5-20 bar. The
valves are equipped with a hand lever for overriding the pilot pressure.

VALVE ADJUSTMENTS
If presetting is not stated in the order, the pressure relief valve (item D) is set to its minimum.
The counterbalance valve is preset to 40 bar opening pressure, which is minimum
recommended opening pressure.
Throttling item Q is factory preset to ½ turn ccw from closed position.

MAINTENANCE
Check the valve for proper function. Visually check the valve and if required, paint unpainted
(damaged) areas.

CAUTION: Do not paint the hand levers shaft seals.

SPARE PART
Seal Kit Set is available.

STORAGE
If storage longer than 6 months is expected, the valve must be kept in a dry room, free from
dust and protected against sudden large temperature variations. For storage longer than 12
months, the valve must be filled with inhibition oil. Before use check all visible seals and
flush with clean oil.

MARKING
Inlets and outlets are marked, refer to figure in section ‘GENERAL DESCRIPTION’.
