DESCRIPTION
High performance, high pressure, multifunction, screw-in, cartridge-style, spool-type flow divider/combiner.
OPERATION
In the dividing mode, the FD56-45 will divert input flow from port 3 to ports 2 and 4, based on the ratio specified, regardless of operating pressure. When the flow direction is reversed the valve will combine flows from 2 and 4 to port 3.
Synchronizing flow is provided in both the dividing and combining modes at “bottomed” conditions in cylinder applications and at “stalled” conditions in motor applications.
FEATURES
• Hardened parts for long life.
• Quiet, modulated response.
• Wide operating flow range.
• Synchronizing in dividing and combining modes.
• Floating cage — high installation torque.
• Industry-common cavity.
