How does a Series Progressive divider valve operate?
The operational sequence of a divider valve assembly is defined as “progressive”. The term progressive means that each valve section completes its piston stroke, discharging a measured amount of lubricant before the following valve section operates. As long as lubricant is supplied under pressure to the inlet section of the divider assembly, valve sections will continue to operate in a progressive manner. Whenever lubricant flow ceases, the valve pistons will stop. When flow resumes, it will start again at the same point in the discharge cycle. Divider valves are available with different diameter pistons and matched bores which also permit them to proportion flow.
