Spool Position Monitored Directional Valve Series
TAI-HUEI spool position monitored directional valves (HD-***-DL-P) are wet-armature solenoid directional valves with a built-in spool position switch. The switch confirms that the spool has actually shifted.
When the spool reaches the set stroke point, output A (normally closed) opens and output B (normally open) closes. This on/off signal goes straight to a PLC for safety interlocking: if the spool has not shifted, the next machine step is not released. Switching point tolerance ≤ 0.5 mm. The trigger point is set and checked at the TAI-HUEI factory before shipment.
Supply voltage 18–24 V DC (±10%), IP67, stainless steel housing. Sizes G02, G03, G04 and G06.
Typical applications: hydraulic circuits where the spool position must be confirmed before the next motion is allowed, such as safety interlock circuits and end-position confirmation on presses and large machinery.
The valve provides a spool position signal. The safety level of the complete machine is assessed by the machine designer for the whole circuit.
