Technical Information
General Description
Flow Divider/Combiner Valve. FDC101 divides flow
from a single source proportionally to two actuators. In
the reverse mode, flow from two sources is combined
into one flow. When dividing or combining flow to
synchronize two cylinders, please consider that the
flow accuracy is ±10%. For additional information see
Technical Tips on pages FC1-FC4.

**The FDC101 cartridge has three ports. Due to its size, it requires a B10-4
series body. As a result, all cartridges in a body will be supplied with a plug
located 180° from the cartridge cavity (port 1).
B10-4-6T body — 6HP*50-S
B10-4-8T body — 8HP*50-S
B10-4-4P body — 102 x 4
B10-4-6P body — 102 x 6
B10-4-8P body — 102 x 8
When machining a manifold using the FDC101, use C10-4 cavity. Do not
machine a port that directs flow to the nose of the cavity.
