Hydraulic flow dividers are very high precision hydraulic components that split the oil into predefined ratio, that could be the same for all the sections or different. This function is due to gears in series, able to divide the inlet oil flow into several flows, with the same or different ratios. Because of these characteristics, […]

Adjusting the Pressure Valve in the RV Flow Dividers
Flow dividers are much more complex products than pumps and motors, so it is important to know how they work and know their characteristics to avoid installation mistake that can lead to problems such as, for example, equipment failure. To let a flow divider work at its best performances, it is extremely important it is […]
Vivoil KV and RV series flow dividers
All the differences between the two versions It sometimes happens that some customers ask us if there is a difference between the Vivoil flow dividers of the KV series and those of the RV series. The KV, in fact, is no longer in production and has been replaced by the recent RV version. Usually the […]
How to Recognize Original Vivoil Flow Dividers from Imitations
Some distributors have told us that flow dividers similar to ours in shape and colour are for sale on the Chinese market, but they are produced by different companies with which we have no business relationship. Here’s how to recognize Vivoil flow dividers from imitations. 1 – All Vivoil products have a label that is […]
Flow Dividers with Motor
Among the possible solutions we propose for flow dividers, the less known is for sure the version FLOW DIVIDER + MOTOR. This option is suggested when you have SINGLE ACTING CYLINDERS where there is no load on returning. Under these conditions, the starting pressure necessary to move the gears cannot be supplied by the cylinders […]
