FD16-42 Flow Divider/Combiner, w/Anti-Stall Feature (FD16-42)
A screw-in, cartridge-style, spool-type flow divider/combiner. Standard flow dividing/combining ratios are maintained regardless of system operating pressure conditions.
Product Operation
In the dividing mode, the FD16-42 will divert input flow from port ➂ to ports ➁ and ➃, based on the ratio specifi ed, regardless of operating pressure.
The cartridge will combine input flows from both ➁ and ➃The FD16-42 is designed to maintain a flow path to both combining ports ➁ and ➃ when one port is “free-wheeling.” This feature keeps hydraulic (parallel) motor drive
circuits from stalling in the combining mode only.
Product Features
• Hardened parts for long life.
• Quiet, modulated response.
• Industry common cavity.
