Danfoss MCV116 Pilot Valves for Series 90R & 90L Hydraulic Pumps

Product Overview:

The Danfoss MCV116 Series is an electro-hydraulic Pressure Control Pilot (PCP) valve specifically engineered for Series 90R (Clockwise) and 90L (Counter-Clockwise) variable displacement pumps. Functioning as the “command center” of the Series 90 hydrostatic system, it translates electrical signals from joysticks or controllers into precise hydraulic pilot pressures. This modulates the pump’s swashplate angle, determining the machine’s speed and direction. This series features the classic MCV116A3101 and the enhanced 42-series design MCV116G4204, essential for high-performance rollers, pavers, and concrete pumps.

This page covers the standard MCV116A3101 and high-sensitivity MCV116G4204, fully compatible with Danfoss Series 90 pumps from 030cc up to 250cc.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Native Series 90 Integration: Specifically tuned for the feedback springs and control profiles of Danfoss 90R and 90L pumps, ensuring smooth, surge-free displacement transitions.

• Superior Linear Modulation: Utilizes a closed-loop force-feedback mechanism to maintain excellent proportionality between input current and pump output flow.

• Enhanced 42-Series Durability: The MCV116G4204 utilizes the 42nd design sequence, offering superior contamination resistance and electrical robustness to minimize downtime.

• Exceptional Inching Capability: Low deadband current thresholds allow operators to achieve ultra-fine power delivery under minimal electronic commands.
