Flow Dividers

More than 35 years ago Gibson Machine Company was licensed by Slack & Parr Limited from England to manufacture and sell flow dividers to industries in the United States and Canada. Gibson sells flow dividers only through approved distributors.

Selecting a Flow Divider

Rotary Flow Dividers split the input flow from a single supply into 2 or more outputs of equal or unequal flows.

They are used for synchronization of rams to ensure level lifting or to operate two or more hydraulic actuators at different speeds, each with integral relief valve. Rotary Flow Dividers can also be used for pressure intensifications by dumping one or more outlets to tank.

All units are reversible therefore only one divider is necessary to synchronize actuators in both directions of movement. Equal and unequal outputs are available by selecting the appropriate units, banked together (See notes on selecting a Flow Divider).

The range of flow dividers is a modular construction therefore the number of outlet elements is only restricted by maximum input of 90Lpm per section a minimum speed of 750 rpm and a maximum speed of 3000rpm. In designing a system incorporating a Rotary Flow Divider allowance must be made for the pressure required to cause it to rotate.
