FDC140 Series
High Flow Divider Combiner
The FDC140 series hydraulic valve offers high flow, high pressure, dividing and
combining with an excellent split flow accuracy under varying loads.
The FDC140 will divide a single flow into two separate flows which will always be
in the same ratio to each other regardless of any pressure differential between
the two lines. If the flow is reversed (e.g. return stroke of two cylinders) the
return flows are held in the same ratio to each other and combined into a single
flow, regardless of individual loads on the cylinders
A common application is to keep two cylinders (or motors) in close unison when
loads on them are unequal.
For example, access and lifting platforms, car ramps, tail lifts on municipal and
other heavy vehicles, continuous track such as snow clearing vehicles, road
rollers and harvesters.

ValveAccuracy
Division Accuracy.
The accuracy is specified as a percentage of the valves rated maximum flow. The accuracy of +/-1.5% defines
a maximum difference between the two split flows as 3% of the maximum flow. The same is true for both
forward (divide) and reverse (combine) flows.
For a valve with rated flow size 100, the accuracy is calculated as +/-1.5% of its maximum flow of 100 L/min
(26.4 US gpm). This equates to a maximum allowable difference between the two split flows of 3.0 l/min (+/-1.5
L/min), or 0.8 US gpm (+/-0.4 US gpm).
If the flow to the same valve is reduced to 70 L/min (18.5 US gpm), the accuracy is still specified as +/-1.5% of
its maximum flow (100 L/min, 26.4 US gpm).
For a valve with 50/50 split flow ratio, the two split flows are equal, and ½ of the total flow.
For a valve with 80/20 split flow ratio, the total flow is split with 80% going through A PORT & 20% going
through B PORT. The accuracy of +/-1.5% calculated from the valves rated maximum flow is then added to
give a maximum variation of the two split flows.
