Product Description

A heavy duty, multifunction, screw-in, cartridge-style, spool-type flow divider/combiner. It provides pressure-compensated proportional division of inlet flow or combining of two return flows regardless of system operating pressure. The FD56-45 has an orifice at Port 1 to facilitate removal of the spring ring if needed.

Product Operation

In the dividing mode, the FD56-45 will divert input flow from 3 to 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.

Product Features

Hardened parts for long life.
Quiet, modulated response.
Wide operating flow range.
Industry common cavity.
Synchronizing in dividing and combining modes.
Floating cage — High installation torque.
