Overview of ow divider, type TQ
Flow dividers are a type of ow valve. They divide or add together a total ow
rate either evenly or using a xed ratio. The consumer pressures have no effect.
The ow divider, type TQ is, due to its simple design, an economical solution for
simple dividing tasks, e.g. if two hydraulic consumers with varying loads supplied
from one pump are to be moved simultaneously without interaction.
Intended applications include mobile hydraulics and industrial hydraulics.
Features and benets:
Excellent dividing accuracy
Intended applications:
Steering systems
Synchronous cylinders

Division accuracy depends on
Total oil ow Q
C
:
The total oil ow Q
C
should be between 50...100% of Q
CN
. Below 50% of Q
CN
the accuracy
of the division drops. In this case, you have to select a device with the next smaller ow
rate coding.
Pressure difference between consumer ports A and B:
At the same or slightly different pressures ( 20 bar), the division error is approximately
± 1... 2%. For larger pressure differences, the division error increases; at a difference of
100 bar, for the ow rate codings A 0.78 ... 2.3, it is approximately ± 2 ... 2.5% and for
larger codings it can rise to± 3...5%. For A 6.8 it can rise to approximately ± 5...7%.

Assembly, operation and maintenance recommendations
5.1 Intended use
This valveis intended exclusively for hydraulic applications (uid technology).
The user must observe the safety measures and warnings in this documentation.
Essential requirements for the product to function correctly and safely:
All information in this documentation must be observed. This applies in particular to all safety measures and warnings.
The product must only be assembled and put into operation by qualied personnel.
The product must only be operated within the specied technical parameters. The technical parameters are described in detail in this
documentation.
The operating and maintenance manual of the components, assemblies and the specic complete system must also always be
observed.
If the product can no longer be operated safely:
1. Remove the product from operation and mark it accordingly.
It is then not permitted to continue using or operating the product.
5.2 Assembly information
The product must only be installed in the complete system with standard and compliant connection components (ttings, hoses, pipes,
xtures, etc.).
The hydraulic power pack must be shut down correctly prior to dismounting; this applies in particular to power packs with hydraulic
accumulators.
Danger
Risk to life caused by sudden movement of the hydraulic drives when dismantled incorrectly!
Risk of serious injury or death.
Depressurise the hydraulic system.
Perform safety measures in preparation for maintenance.

5.3 Operating instructions
Note product configuration and pressure / ow rate
The statements and technical parameters in this documentation must be strictly observed.
The instructions for the complete technical system must also always be followed.
Note
Read the documentation carefully before usage.
The documentation must be accessible to the operating and maintenance staff at all times.
Keep documentation up to date after every addition or update.
Caution
Risk of injury due to unexpected movement processes in the machine due to incorrect ow setting!
Risk of minor injury
Be prepared for unexpected, fast movements. On changing the ow settings, consumers will move more slowly or more
quickly.
Always monitor the pressure gauge when setting or changing the ow.
Purity and ltering of the hydraulic uid
Fine contamination can significantly impair the function of the hydraulic component. Contamination can cause irreparable damage.
Examples of ne contamination include:
Metal chips
Rubber particles from hoses and seals
Dirt due to assembly and maintenance
Mechanical debris
Chemical ageing of the hydraulic uid
Note
Fresh hydraulic uid from the drum does not always have the highest degree of purity. Under some circumstances the fresh
hydraulic uid must be ltered before use.
Adhere to the cleanliness level of the hydraulic uid in order to maintain faultless operation.
(also see cleanliness level in Chapter 3, "Parameters").
Additionally applicable document: D 5488/1 Oil recommendations
5.4 Maintenance information
Conduct a visual inspection at regular intervals, but at least once per year, to check if the hydraulic connections are damaged. If
external leakages are found, shut down and repair the system.
Clean the device surface of dust deposits and dirt at regular intervals, but at least once per year.

Other information
6.1 Structure and operating principle
In addition to the housing, the ow divider consists of two coupled control pistons 1. The control pistons are held in the middle
position (rest position) using centring springs 4.
A xed orice 2 and a variable throttle point 3 are integrated into the control pistons.
A ow from C to A and B creates a pressure drop which brings the control pistons into the control position (ow control function).
By coupling the two control pistons, the ow rates at A and B are kept constant in accordance with the ratio, even if there are different
load pressures at A and B.

A
= Q
B
= 0.5 Q
C
(= 0.5 Q
pump
)
according to the Sp-Q characteristics.
When retracting (merging), the subows Q
A
= Q
B
are larger according to the surface ratio of the cylinders; the associated ow resistance
is also greater according to the surface ratio for the pump.
In borderline cases with Q
pump
in the range Q
C max
, connection of the ow divider to the rod side of the cylinders can therefore be more
preferable (see 5)
4 Pressure-limiting valves
With the ow divider on the piston side:
Pressure-limiting valves are to be used if the end position compensation (during extension) of the trailing cylinder is to be performed
without a speed limitation.
The triggering pressure-limiting valve of the cylinder that arrives rst at the end stop continues to simulate the hydraulic uid demand
for the ow divider even though the piston has stopped.
(Pressure setting slightly lower than pressure-limiting valve on the pump side)
5 Pressure-limiting valves
With the ow divider on the rod side:
Pressure-limiting valves are to be planned in order to avoid (during end position compensation during extension) transmissions of
pressure due to the surface difference of the cylinders.
(Pressure setting slightly lower than pressure-limiting valve on the pump side)

2 Flow divider, type TQ
3 Zero-leakage directional seated valves
for example, D 7765 orD 7300 or equivalent versions for blocking the cylinder lines for “stop” in any raised, intermediate position.
Directional seated valves prevent uncontrolled volume exchange via the ow divider from the cylinder that is more greatly loaded to the
less loaded cylinder, thus preventing retraction of the one and extension of the other.
If you always drive against the end stop without an intermediate stop, the directional seat valves are not required.
4 Lifting/lowering valve, type HSV 21
See D 7032
Adjust the lowering speed using the throttle “Dr”.
Note
Avoid high lowering speeds!
When lowering the loads (merging of the subows), at the connection C, due to the directional valve open to the tank, low
reux resistance prevails.
Although the control orice on the higher-load consumer side (in the picture at A) compensates for the pressure difference
compared to the lower-load consumer, the subows Q
A
= Q
B
would then result according to the Sp-Q characteristics in
"Parameters" for Sp = load pressure of the lower-load cylinder. In order to avoid excess lowering speeds, the total return ow
must be limited to values Q
CN
by a suitable ow valve.
In the example: Limitation by the throttle "Dr" present in the lifting/lowering valve or by a drop-rate braking valve (D 6920) or
another equivalent device.
