The PVB Divider Valve is designed for small-size series progressive lubrication systems. It is a
cost efficient solution for supplying multiple lubrication points with relatively small volumes of oil
and grease. For use with machine tools, processing machinery, presses, textile, printing and
packaging machinery.
Features
+ Progressive distributor block designed for use with oil or grease applications
+ Manifolds available in sizes ranging from 6 to 20 outlets
+ Positive volume of 0.17cc (0.01 cu. in.) per outlet per cycle
+ Easy-to-use control and monitoring features
Operation
The series progressive technology allows just one piston to move at any given time. The movement of
that piston causes another piston to move, and so on. With all pistons at their far left positions
(Figure 1), lubricant is introduced into the block and routed to piston A. The lubricant causes piston A
to move to the right, discharging a metered amount of lubricant from outlet 1 (Figure 2).
The movement of piston A also opens a port that is connected to piston B. Lubricant makes its way to
piston B, and causes piston B to move to the right, discharging a metered amount of lubricant from
outlet 8 (Figure 3). The movement of piston B has now opened a port that is connected to piston C.
Lubricant makes its way to piston C, and causes piston C to move to the right, discharging a metered
amount of lubricant from outlet 6. The same process discharges lubricant from outlet 4 (Figure 4).
