Pilot Control Device in Pedal Design for

the Remote Control of Directional Valves,
Pumps and Motors

Type 2 TH6 R, series 1X

Type 2 TH 6 R

Features

– Progressive, sensitive operation

– Precise control
– Working ports underneath
– Control elements protected by rubber sleeve
– Plungers made of stainless steel, plunger guides made of brass;
this prevents corrosion and seizing

Further remote controls and pilot control units :

• Hydraulic remote control
– Pilot control device type 2TH6 (see RE 64 552) in sandwich
plate design
– Pilot control device types 4 TH 6, 4 TH 5 and 4 TH 6N for arm
rest installation (see RE 64 555)
– Pilot control device type TH 7, for instrument panel
installation or in pedal design (see RE 64 558)
– Pilot control device type 4/5 THF 6 with end position locking
(see RE 64 553)
• Electronic remote control
– Electronic remote control type THE6 for direct controlling of
electrical or electro-hydraulical pilot operated actuators
(see RE 29 771)

Hydraulic remote controls of type 2 TH 6 R... operate on the basis Due to the interaction of control spool (2) and control spring (3),

spring (3), return spring (4) and plunger (5). onal hydraulic control of directional valves and high-response
control valves for hydraulic pumps and motors.
At rest, the pedal is held in the neutral position by return springs
(4). Ports (1,2) are connected to the tank port T via bore (7).
When foot pedal (1) is depressed, plunger (5) is pressed against
the return spring (4) and control spring (3). Control spring (3)
initially moves control spool (2) downwards and closes the
connection between the relevant port and tank port T. At the same
time, the relevant port is connected to port P via bore (7). The
control phase starts as soon as control spool (2) finds its balance
between the force of control spring (3) and the force that results
from the hydraulic pressure in the relevant port (port 1 or 2).
