PVB Mobile Divider Valve
General
The PVB Divider Valve accurately meters and dispenses lubricant to as many as 20 outlet lines at operating pressures up to 3600 psi. Output volumes are fixed at 0.17cc (0.01 cu. in.) per cycle but can be combined with other outlets by using appropriate fittings for larger outputs. Valves are available with cycle indicator pins to provide visual confirmation of system operation. In addition the cycle pin can be fitted with a switch to provide electrical feedback to a system controller.
Operation
Operational sequence of a PVB Divider Valve is defined as “progressive,” meaning that each valve segment completes its piston stroke, discharging a positive volume of lubricant to the point it serves before the following valve segment operates. As long as lubricant is supplied under pressure to the inlet of the divider valve, these segments will continue to operate in a progressive manner. The divider valves will always follow a constant discharge pattern. When lubricant flow ceases, the
pistons will stop. Whenever flow resumes, the pistons will start again at the same point in the discharge cycle.
