These example show flow divider/combiners for single-acting cylinders.
- Flow divider/combiner valve : FS*A, FS*S
- Vented counterbalance valve : CA**,CW**
- Counterbalance valve : CB**
Benefits of this circuit arrangement:
- Fig.1 shows a flow divider/combiner without synchronization. Leakage from one cylinder to the other will occur during load-holding conditions, as the FS*A valve is a spool-type valve. A single standard counterbalance valve can be used for load-holding of the two cylinders.
- Fig. 2 shows a flow divider/combiner with synchronization in the end-of-stroke position.The vented counterbalance valves on each cylinder ensure a load-holding function for each cylinder.
