The oil flow divider allows you to run tools from hydraulic powered carriers by reducing flow and pressure. The OFD’s assure correct flow, correct max pressure and correct flow direction to the tools connected and turns any hydraulic tractor, excavator and skid steer into a “powerpack”. An extension hose is required to connect the divider to the tool.
- Design: Hydraulic oil flow dividers are designed to split the incoming hydraulic fluid flow from a pump into two or more output lines, ensuring equal flow distribution. Inlet Port: The connection point where hydraulic fluid enters from the pump. Outlet Ports: Multiple ports where the fluid is divided and directed to various hydraulic actuators or systems. Flow Dividing Mechanism: This could include gear pumps, pistons, or other mechanisms that ensure an equal division of the fluid. Balancing System: Hydraulic flow dividers must have a mechanism to balance the flow even if there is slight variation in resistance between the different output ports. Pressure Relief Valve: To prevent over-pressurization, a valve can be included to ensure fluid pressure does not exceed safe limits.
- Applications: Hydraulic oil flow dividers are used in various industries and applications to ensure that hydraulic fluid is distributed evenly across multiple components or systems:
- Construction Equipment: In machines like excavators, bulldozers, and backhoes, hydraulic oil flow dividers ensure that multiple hydraulic cylinders or motors receive equal flow, allowing the system to operate smoothly.
- Agricultural Machinery: Tractors and harvesters use hydraulic systems with flow dividers to evenly power multiple attachments or functions such as lifting, steering, and power take-off systems.
- Industrial Automation: Hydraulic systems in manufacturing equipment, presses, or robotic arms often use flow dividers to control the flow of hydraulic fluid to different parts of the system for synchronized operation.
- Mobile Hydraulic Systems: In vehicles like forklifts and cranes, hydraulic flow dividers help manage the distribution of hydraulic fluid to multiple actuators, ensuring coordinated movement.
- Marine and Offshore Systems: Flow dividers are used in the marine industry to manage hydraulic systems in equipment such as cranes, winches, and stabilizers, ensuring equal fluid distribution for controlled operation.
