Flow Dividers

The flow dividers in the MTDA High Accuracy series are bi-directional flow dividers. They divide a flow into 2 part-flows with a accuracy of ± 1.5%, even with different pressures at the actuators. When flow passes through a valve in the opposite direction, the part-flows are combined into one single flow (added).

The dividing and combining functions are independent of the pressures of the two individual flows and of the fluid viscosity.

The flow dividers in the MTDA High Pressure series are bi-directional flow dividers. They divide a flow, the total rate of which may be varied, into a maximum of 2 part-flows. When flow passes through a valve in the opposite direction, the part-flows are combined into one single flow (added). The dividing and combining functions are independent of the pressures of the two individual flows and of the fluid viscosity.

A pressure relief function can be integrated, which can be used for fast end-of-stroke equalization of 2 cylinders. An anti-shock/make-up valve can be integrated, and in this configuration the valve is used as a non-switchable flow divider in vehicles with hydrostatic transmissions.

Series MTDA Standard units are bi-directional flow dividers. They divide a flow, the total rate of which may be varied, into a maximum of 4 part-flows. When flow passes through a valve in the opposite direction, the part-flows are combined into one single flow (added).

The dividing and combining functions are independent of the pressures of the individual flows and of the fluid viscosity.

Series QXT internal flow dividers divide a flow into as many as four portions.

The division ratios are constant and are unaffected by the loads at the actuators.

They can be used, for example, to provide synchronised movement of unequally loaded cylinders. Several hydraulic motors can be driven at the same speed, irrespective of their external loads.
