Function
Proportional pressure reducing valves of type DRE 4 K reduce
the pressure in port A proportionally to the solenoid current.
They are largely independent of the pressure in port P. These
valves are suitable for controlling directional valves, in particular
in mobile applications. The hydraulic pressure in port A acts via
a spool against the magnetic force. When the proportional sole-
noid is de-energised, a return spring at the spool opens the con-
nection from port A to port T.
The valves are provided for a nominal voltage of 24 VDC.
(12 VDC version on enquiry).
A programmable remote control type THE 6 is available for con-
trolling the valves (separate order, see page 4).
Further electronic signal encoders and electrical amplifier mod-
ules for controlling the valves are available (separate order, see
page 4).

1) The cleanliness classes specified for components must be

adhered to in hydraulic systems. Effective filtration prevents
malfunction and, at the same time, increases the service life
of components.
For the selection of filters, see data sheets RE 50070,
