Flow Dividers 2CFD50

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the 2CFD series flow divider/combiner valves, which are designed to split input flow into two equal parts and recombine flow in the reverse direction. These valves ensure equal flow distribution despite pressure variations, making them suitable for synchronizing actuator movements under different load conditions.

Specifications: The 2CFD50 model operates with a nominal viscosity range of 5 to 500 cSt and can handle up to 40 litres/min (10.5 US GPM). It is constructed with hardened and ground steel parts, with a zinc-plated external steel body. The valve can withstand a maximum pressure of 350 bar (5000 psi) and operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +90°C. The standard division ratio is 50/50, and the recommended filtration level is BS5540/4 Class 18/13 (25 micron nominal).

Operation: The valve uses matched orifices and compensating springs to ensure equal flow division. Excess flow causes the spool to adjust and maintain equilibrium. In reverse, the spools regulate the flow through radial ports.

Applications: The valve is versatile, suitable for integration into line bodies, custom-designed hydraulic circuits, or other hydraulic equipment. It is particularly useful for synchronizing actuator movements in systems with varying load conditions.

Features: The valve synchronizes flow in both directions with high accuracy under load and pressure imbalance conditions. It offers cartridge construction for versatile application and can be fitted with different seal kits (Nitrile or Viton) depending on the fluid and temperature requirements.

Ordering Information: The basic code for ordering is 2CFD50 for the cartridge only and 2CFD55 for the cartridge and body. Various port sizes and body materials are available, including BSP and SAE options in aluminium and steel.

Pressure Drop: The document includes a graph illustrating the pressure drop across the valve at different flow rates, indicating the valve's efficiency in maintaining pressure balance.

Notes: Blocking one leg of the valve significantly reduces flow from the other. Valves with higher working pressures are available upon request. When used with cylinders, the valve should be sized to match the return flow rate.
