Flow dividers

Hydraulic flow divider

Hydraulic flow divider – this is a device that allows you to distribute the flow of the working fluid evenly over two or more channels, regardless of what input load is applied to the hydraulic actuator.

Flow dividers are used in hydraulic systems where there is a need to synchronize the movement of several hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinders. Thanks to this, the flow is precisely distributed in hydrostatic support systems and others.

Types of flow dividers

According to the design features, the oil flow divider is divided into types:

• Spool (throttle). They consist of a body, including one inlet and two outlets, as well as a spool. Depending on the output load, the spool moves and redistributes the flow. It is necessary to choose such a hydraulic flow divider & nbsp; according to the flow range (indicated in the characteristics). There is an error of up to 3%. During installation, it must be installed horizontally. This will prevent the impact of the weight of the parts during operation of the device. 

• Gear. They consist of several sections and buildings, inside which – external and internal gears. They are rigidly interconnected by a common shaft and rotate synchronously  during the supply of working fluid. As a rule, such a divider is assembled into a block from two to eight sections. Also, additional pressure valves, anti-cavitation, check valves or with electric control for a common line or a separate section can be built into the design.

• Radial piston. They are similar to gears in operation, but have differences in design. Their section consists of a radial piston group, the principle of which can be compared with the operation of a hydraulic motor. Thanks to this type of divider, not only high division accuracy is achieved – up to 99%, but also wide range of working volumes. It provides a flow on a specific section up to 500l/min in some cases.
