The fatiguepressure is the maximum pressure for thevalve to be free, for infinite life, from metalfatigue are committed to maintaining thisposition by offering the most comprehensiverange of Cartridge Valves for industrial andmobile catalog gives basic specifications forthe complete line of Vickers screw-incartridge flow control Valves .

4 It divides andcombines flow, regardless of system loador pressure, proportionally per specifiedflow example: FDC1-10-* 66 will divide anincoming flow of 45 l/min (12 USgpm) equally out each port with anaccuracy of 10% each side. With 45l/min (12 USgpm) in at 3 port, flow outport 4 can be 22 l/min(6 USgpm) 4,5 l/min ( USgpm) whileflow at port 2 is 22,7 l/min(6 USgpm) 4,5 l/min ( USgpm).The combining accuracy is the same withincoming flow at port 4 and 2 and flowout port 3 of 45 l/min(12 USgpm). Inlet flow at port 4 will be 22l/min (6 USgpm) 4,5 l/min( USgpm). Inlet flow at port 2 will be22 l/min (6 USgpm) 4,5 l/min( USgpm).Flow division or combining will bemaintained even if unequal loads areplaced on ports 4 and 2.

5 A special feature of the FDC1 * is that itprovides rephase flow to either port 2 or port4 when one of the two is blocked. Thisfeature is useful in hydraulic circuits thatrequire cylinders to move at the same time. Ifone cylinder bottoms out first, the oppositecylinder is provided with rephase flow toallow the cylinder to bottom and start thecylinders together for movement in theopposite **The FDC3-** is a Cartridge type positivetraction valve that divides and combinesflow, regardless of system load orpressure, proportionally per specified valve is used in place of a standard flowdivider-combiner in systems where hydraulicmotors are used as drive wheels on eachside of the machine. The positive tractionvalve acts much like a standard flowdivider-combiner as the vehicle travels in astraight line.

6 Equal amounts of flow go toeach C port. As the vehicle turns a corner,a standard flow divider will maintain equalflow to each drive motor. On a turn, it isnecessary for the outer wheel to turn fasterthan the inner wheel. A standard flowdivider-combiner will provide equal flow toeach motor causing the drive motors to positive traction valve solves thisproblem by allowing the one motor to turnfaster than the operates in a similar way as amechanical differential on an a turn, the inside drive motor is restrictedand builds up pressure, while the outsidedrive motor is without restriction. Underconditions of high differential pressure, thepositive traction valve passes extra flow tothe least restricted motor to preventskidding.

7 Under straight running conditionsthe differential pressure is low and equalamounts of flow are provided to each : Forpressure over 210 bar(3000 psi) use (psi)RATED FLOWl/min (USgpm)PAGEI ntroduction2FR5-8350 (5000)10 ( )4FR5-10350 (5000)23 (6)6FR1-16 Flow reg l tor v lves fixedpress re compens ted210 (3000)114 (30)8FR1-20 Flow regulator Valves , fixed, pressure compensated210 (3000)227 (60)10FR2-10210 (3000)38 (10)12FR2-16210 (3000)114 (30)14 FAR1-10350 (5000)38 (10)16 FAR1-12 Flow regulator Valves , adjustable, pressure compensated350 (5000)94,5 (25)18 FAR1-16g,j,350 (5000)3,8 113,6 (1 30)20 PFR5-8350 (5000)15,1 (4)22 PFR5-10350 (5000)60 (15)24 PFR1-16 Priority flow regulator valves210 (3000)151 (40)26 PFR2-10yg210 (3000)60 (15)28 PFR2-16210 (3000)151 (40)30 MRV2-10M n l rot ry v lves210 (3000)
