The main function of the PERMCO FD3000 / 3100 Flow Divider, is to accept flow then divide it equally or unequally. Alternatively it can combine flow in the return direction and distribute pressure based on your requirements.
The main benefits of using a PERMCO flow divider in your hydraulic system is to:
The above will achieve a reduction in costs.
The most efficient gear widths are 1 or larger.
The most efficient speed of the PERMCO flow dividers is between 700 - 1400 RPM.
Units with ALL gear widths of 1/2 and 3/4should be avoided.
EXAMPLES: Units with 1/2 gears would work best with another section of a least 1-1/2
Units with 3/4 gears would work best with another section of a least 1-1/4
In three section units or larger, it is good practice to position the inlet port nearest the largest gear section. It is also recommended that the largest gear section be placed in the centre of the unit.
For applications where speeds are below 500 RPM or above 1400 RPM, and/or where pressure across the unit may exceed 2000 PSI (138 Bar) for the 3000 series / 2500 PSI (172 BAR) for the 3100 series, please CONTACT US to discuss further.
To select your PERMCO flow divider, this procedure should be followed:
For equal flow division:
Select a gear width greater than one (1) inch from the charts keeping the speed between about 700 RPM and 1400 RPM.
For unequal flow division use the following procedure:
