Rotary Flow Dividers split the input flow from a single supply into 2 or more outputs of equal or unequal flows.

They are used for synchronisation of rams to ensure level lifting or to operate two or more hydraulic actuators at different speeds, each with integral relief valve.

(Diagram 1) See notes here on selecting a flow divider.

Rotary Flow Dividers can also be used for pressure intensifications by dumping one or more outlets to tank. (Diagram 2) See notes here on selecting a flow divider.

All units are reversible therefore only one divider is necessary to synchronise actuators in both directions of movement. Equal and unequal outputs are available by selecting the appropriate units, banked together.

The range of flow dividers is a modular construction therefore the number of outlet elements is only restricted by maximum input of 90Lpm per section a minimum speed of 750 rpm and a maximum speed of 3000rpm. In designing a system incorporating a Rotary Flow Divider allowance must be made for the pressure required to cause it to rotate. See notes on "Calculation of Inlet Pressure" here.
