Piston valve 3000

The Series 3000 progressive divider valve manifold distributes and proportions incoming oil or grease to bearing points. A typical divider valve manifold consists of an inlet section, three to ten valves and an end section. One assembly can serve up to a maximum of 20 lubrication points. Location of valve blocks within the manifold is not critical – however, it is recommended that the largest block be located next to the inlet block. Individual divider valve blocks have a sliding discharge piston and built-in outlet check valves. Blocks are offered in six output sizes. The discharge capacity of a block is determined by varying the piston diameter in the valve block. Valve blocks have two outlets located at each end of the assembly (double outlet blocks) and supply rated discharge outputs from each of the two outlets during one complete valve cycle. Single outlet blocks have one end outlet plugged (right side, inlet at top) and supply twice the rated output to the open outlet (left side, inlet at top). For a right sided open outlet, simply remove plug and insert in the left outlet. External cross porting of adjacent valves can be achieved with a kit to combine outputs. Operation Individual valve blocks operate in a pre-arranged “progressive” sequence. During operation, the piston within the block must complete a full discharge cycle before another piston begins operation. As long as lubricant is supplied under pressure to the inlet section of the divider, manifold valve blocks will continue to operate in a progressive manner. When lubricant flow is interrupted to the inlet block, piston movement stops.
