Hydraulic splitter valve
The hydraulic splitter valve is used in all industries. The splitter valves and solenoid valves are made of high-quality materials, which makes it possible to use them even in very difficult and demanding conditions.
The task of the hydraulic splitter valve is to direct the liquid stream from the pump to one or more receivers (actuators, rotary motors) and the liquid flowing from the receivers to the tank. In complex hydraulic systems, two or more hydraulic splitter are often used, which can be built separately or assembled into blocks (sets). Directional control valves without proportional control are referred to as switching valves.
Hydraulic splitter valves are divided into different types, depending on the number of roads and placements. Explaining: The number of roads, i.e. the sum of the number of channels leading liquid to the distributor and the number of paths draining liquid from the device. Number of placement, i.e. number of fixed positions that the liquid separating element can occupy in the splitter valve.
Three types of hydraulic splitter valve can be distinguished, depending on the design and type of movement of the divider. Type of directional control valves

Check and non-return valves
Directional spool valves are available with a flat, cylindrical or cylindrical spool. The cylindrical slide is colloquially called a pressure slide. Cylindrical slides, due to their low weight and extensive overdrive, are rarely used. Usually used in hydraulic machines include splitter valves with piston slides.
The valve distributors have one or more valves whose closing elements can be plugs, balls or plates. The closing element is pressed against the socket with a spring, while opening is done by moving the element manually, hydraulically, electromagnetically or pneumatically.
Rotary distributors used in hydraulic machines have two types of liquid separating elements, i.e. roller or cone. These elements have one or more hollows and are rotatably mounted in the valve body.
Flow dividers for hydraulic systems allow for dividing one stream of working liquid into two identical ones. Splitters allow the division of liquids into two streams, where each of them has the same parameters regardless of the variable external load of cylinders and hydraulic motors. Hydraulic splitter valves are great for devices where two cylinders must extend in the same speed and pressure parameters, despite the difference in weight resulting from uneven load distribution e.g. on a platform. Hydraulic splitter valves are also great for joining two streams into one.
