1. Basic Information
Type: Pressure-compensated spool-type bi-directional flow divider & combiner cartridge valve
2. Key Technical Parameters
- Flow dividing accuracy: standard 50% equal split; tolerance ±4.5% at minimum flow, ±2.5% at rated high flow
- Pressure drop: approx. 2 bar at minimum flow, approx. 24 bar at maximum flow
- Installation: Hex head size 28.6 mm, tightening torque 61~68 N·m, net weight 0.27 kg apiece
- Structure: SUN floating spool design to prevent spool sticking caused by mounting torque or cavity machining tolerance
3. Product Functions
1. Forward dividing: Single inlet flow evenly split into two outlets to realize synchronous extension of double cylinders or hydraulic motors.
2. Reverse combining: Two return oil paths converge into one single line for synchronous retraction.
3. End-stroke make-up flow: Automatically supplements oil when one cylinder reaches full stroke ahead of the other to complete full-stroke precise synchronization.
4. Typical Applications
Excavator outriggers, double-cylinder lifting platforms, loader tilt cylinders and synchronous circuits for dual hydraulic motors.
Hydraulic Cartridge Valve FSDS-XAN

I. Core Functions
1. Flow Division/Combination Control
• The FSDS-XAN valve achieves synchronous flow division or combination through apilot-operated balanced piston design.
• Indivision mode, it splits a single oil source into multiple paths for parallel actuators (e.g., boom and arm movements during dual-pump operation).
• Incombination mode, it merges multiple oil circuits into one to enhance operational efficiency.
2. Pressure Regulation & Safety Protection
• Integratedmain relief functionlimits system pressure to35 MPa(some models up to 42 MPa) to prevent overload damage.
• Unloading pressureis set at21.5 MPato reduce energy consumption during idle operation.
3. Flow Control Precision
• Minimum input flow accuracy: 50% ± 4.5%
• Maximum input flow accuracy: 50% ± 2.5%
• Supports flow ranges from12–60 L/min(some models up to 480 L/min) for diverse applications.
