Danfoss MCV116H & MCV116G Series Pressure Control Pilot (PCP) Valves

Product Overview: The Danfoss MCV116 Series is an electro-hydraulic Pressure Control Pilot (PCP) valve specifically engineered for displacement control in closed-circuit hydrostatic pumps (such as the Series 90). Acting as the intelligence behind the pump’s control system, the MCV116 converts low-level proportional electrical signals into precise hydraulic pilot pressures to modulate the main pump swashplate. This series features the MCV116H (High Performance) and MCV116G (General Enhanced) variants, both belonging to the proven 42 Design Series. Known for superior contamination tolerance and ultra-low hysteresis, these valves are essential for the traction systems of rollers, harvesters, and construction machinery.

Featured models include: MCV116H4201, MCV116H4204, MCV116G4201, MCV116G4204, and MCV116G4211.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Proven 42-Series Design: Decades of field-tested reliability, offering extended mechanical life and electrical robustness to minimize machine downtime.

• Precision Proportional Response: The force-feedback architecture ensures a highly linear relationship between input current and output pressure, providing flawless inching capabilities.

• Superior Interference Immunity: Encapsulated coils and rugged cast-iron housing effectively resist heavy vibrations and electromagnetic interference common in job sites.

• Stable Wide-Temperature Operation: Advanced sealing and internal compensation mechanisms maintain control accuracy during cold starts or sustained high-temperature operations.
