GENERAL FEATURES

Modern machinery with increasingly complex circuits often needs combinations of separate and independent movements. POLARIS 10 and POLARIS 20 flow dividers provide technically advanced, low cost power transmis sion and sol ve ap pli ca tion pro blems whe re ver hydra u lic flow has di vi ded. In line with our po licy of sim plif ying the de sign of hydra u lic cir cu its, our flow di vi ders have re lief val ves bu ilt in to li mit pres su re and pre vent ca vi ta tion. The se com po nents per mit hydra u lic cir cu its to be cle verly op ti mi sed and re du ce in stal la tion costs. The POLARIS flow di vi ders are two or more sec tion di vi ders with a com mon in ter nal con nec ting shaft. T his ma in ta ins a con stant ra tio bet we en the flows thro ugh each sec tion in ac cor dan ce with sec tion dis place ment. The o ret i cal wor king of rotary flow di vi ders do not dis si pa te energy in fact if the out let pres su re of one sec tion drops be low in put pres su re, that sec tion ope ra tes as a mo tor and ta kes energy from the flu id. This energy is not wa sted but tran sfer red by the common shaft to the other sections which operate as pumps and therefore need outlet pressure to be greater than inlet pressure. In working conditions, overall efficiencies depend on the sum of the single sections efficiency. These products can therefore be used as flow equalizers, flow dividers and pressure intensifiers as shown in the table below.

GENERAL FEATURES OF RELIEF VALVES

Re lief val ves al low the ac tua tors to realign at the end of each cycle in both flow di rec tions. As an example when the cylin ders ex tend, they may not all re ach the ir end stops exactly at the same time. In this case as soon as one cylin der re a ches its stop, the re lief val ve in that sec tion di rects flu id to tank un til all the ot her cylin ders re ach the ir stops. Whi le retroacting the relief val ve acts as check valve and opens to prevent cavitation. Relief settings valve and their identification code are listed in the table below.

FLOW EQUALIZERS (WITH EQUAL DISPLACEMENTS)

Flow ac cu racy equalizers is within 2 % if they are ro tat ing in the rec om mended speed range and the dif fer en tial pressure between sections is less than 1450 psi. When several single acting cylinders are operated together, act ing on loads have not suf fi cient mass to win the cir cuits re sis tance, we rec om mend a fur ther gear sec tion act ing as a mo tor in or der to guar an tee the cyl in ders re tract. The dis place ment of this mo tor should be roughly equal to the sum of the displacements of the other sections. Two typical circuit diagrams of applications where flow equalizers are utilized will be found on page 10.

V = Displacement Q = Flow p = Pressure n = Speed

[cu in/rev] [US gpm] [psi] [min- 1]

Q0 = Q1 + Q2 ....+ Q n p0Q0 = p1Q 1 + p2Q2 ....+ pnQn

V (..) =

1000 Q (..) n

DISPLACEMENT SELECTION GUIDE EXAMPLE

Assume that it is ne ces sary to supply power to two cylinders that require a flow rate of 10.6 [US gpm] each. For sim pli city's sake we will igno re pres su re los ses and the com pres sion fac tor of the flu id. The pump must de li ver a flow equal to: Q 0 = Q1 + Q 2 = 21.2 [US gpm]. To find the displacement of the two sections of the flow equalizer, simply lo ca te the flow rate 21.2 [US gpm] on the X axis and then ascend ver ti cally un til the line cor re spon ding to the num ber of sec tions (2) is encountered; now tra ce a ho ri zon tal line to the right un til en co un te ring the li nes re ferring to displacement. Select the displacement with the point of intersection on the graph that lies nearest to the maximum speed in optimum performance range.

FLOW DIVIDERS (WITH UNEQUAL DISPLACEMENTS)

Flow di vid ers are used where the same pump must drive sev eral dif fer ent ac tu a tors re quir ing dif fer ent pres sures and flow rates. The dis place ment of each sec tion must be pro por tional to the flow rate re quired by the ac tu a tor to which it is con nected. Two typ i cal cir cuit di a grams of ap pli ca tions where flow di vid ers are uti lizedwill be found on page 11.

DISPLACEMENT SELECTION GUIDE EXAMPLE

Assume two actuators must be dri ven using 13.2 [US gpm] and 5.3 [US gpm] respectively. To find the displacement of the flow di vi der sec tions, simply lo ca te the flow ra tes in que stion on the Yaxis and then move across ho ri zontally until the lines cor re spon ding to the displacement are en co un te red. Se lect a displacement with points of intersection ali gned as near as pos si ble ver ti cally, and the ne a rest to the ma xi mum spe ed in op ti mum per for mance range.
