Haldex Barnes (Concentric) 1020076 divider flow distributes the flow coming from a single pump, equally or in pre-defined ratios, amongst 2 or more actuators. This rotary gear type flow divider is used to synchronise 2 parallel motions hydraulically rather than mechanically.
Working Mechanism:
- A flow divider absorbs a pressured flow of oil, often from a hydraulic pump.
- Splits it into two streams of equal or unequal flow volume for the operation of two independent branch circuits from a single pump or for the synchronisation of two identical cylinders.
Features:
- Haldex Barnes 1020076 divider flow splits the flow from a single pump source to a pair of matched fluid motors or cylinders.
- It features permanently moulded cast iron construction to withstand operating pressures up to 2300 psi.
- This unit comes with an integral differential relief valve for reducing built-up pressure inside.
- The 11 tooth-hardened steel gears can rotate at a maximum speed of 4500 RPM, delivering an outer liquid pressure of 4500 psi.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do I choose a flow divider?
A.
- Divide the supply flow by the necessary number of divisions.
- The flow units should be changed to cc/minute.
- Divide this cc/min from the ideal speed of 1500 rpm.
- Choose the closest available element size.
- Verify the exact working speed for this size.
Q. How do you sync two hydraulic cylinders?
A. Servovalves are the most precise method of synchronising hydraulic cylinders. Electronic position feedback is used by servovalves to independently operate each cylinder while comparing the positions of all the actuators.
Q. What are the flow ratings of this divider?
A. 5 to 10 GPM.
