1 Description
1.1 General
The differential lock valve consists essentially of a bi-direc-
tional flow divider (dividing and combining) and a directional
valve for optionally bypassing the flow divider.
It is intended for use in either open- or closed-loop hydro
static drives with parallel-connected hydraulic motors.
When the lock valve is switched OFF, the inlet flow can di
vide itself among the mo-tors in any required manner. When
the lock valve is switched ON, however, the inlet flow is di
vided into two pressure compensated portions in accord
ance with the division ratio of the lock valve. The motors are
thus driven at fixed speeds, regardless of their respective
loads. This arrangement prevents any hydraulic wheel
motor from spinning in conditions of poor traction. A balanc
ing orifice can optionally be arranged between the outlets A
and B. This allows some redistribution of flow and prevents
un-wanted torque build-up between wheels in these circum-
stances, and when turning.
The differential lock valves can be supplied with either hy
draulic, or electrohydraulic, actuation.

2) Size of balancing orifices must be plainly stated (see also sect. 2) e.g. 0.6 / 0.8 / 1.0 : if balancing orifice D is to be 0.8 mm, then D = 08
7.1 Options
In addition to the standard versions, differential-lock valves
can also be equipped with numerous auxiliary functions and
combined in customer-specific manifold blocks. In these
cases, technical datas and performance graphs may differ
from standard.

9 Installation
Horizontal mounting is recommended. Do not bolt the valve
body onto an uneven mounting surface.
10 Fluid
Differential lock valves require fluid with a minimum cle
anliness level of ISO 4406 code 20/18/15.
We recommend the use of fluids that contain anti-wear
additives for mixed-friction operating conditions. Fluids wi
thout appropriate additives can reduce the service life of
pumps and motors.
The user is responsible for maintaining, and regularly
checking the fluid quality.

These valves enable switching from a serial connection, for
example “drive mode,” into a parallel connection using a dif
ferential lock valve. For the user, such solutions mean reli
able output and fast operating speeds.
