The flow dividers in the MTDA High Pressure series are bi-directional flow dividers. They divide a flow, the total rate of which may be varied, into a maximum of 2 part-flows. When flow passes through a valve in the opposite direction, the part-flows are combined into one single flow (added). The dividing and combining functions are independent of the pressures of the two individual flows and of the fluid viscosity.
A pressure relief function can be integrated, which can be used for fast end-of-stroke equalization of 2 cylinders. An anti-shock/make-up valve can be integrated, and in this configuration the valve is used as a non-switchable flow divider in vehicles with hydrostatic transmissions.
