<p>A rotary flow divider, particularly for use in hydraulic circuits for applications such as dividing the output of a hydraulic pump between several differently (non-equally) loaded devices. Includes a central distributor which channels fluid from the pump to outlet ports, and an outer housing with a plurality of distribution ports (associated with different loaded devices). Repeated alignment and closure of outlet and distribution ports in a sequential type manner distributes fluid to the different devices. Such port alignment and closure is achieved by movement of the distributor and housing relative to each other in a rotational and/or linear manner, though an intermediary moving shutter device or sleeve may be used instead. Such an intermediary shutter device or sleeve may also be configured as a repositionable control sleeve to modify the nature of distribution of fluid when it is secured in different positions.</p> |
