Test bench for throttle flow dividers-adders

Abstract

The control of modern mobile machinery and technological equipment increasingly relies on the utilization of multi-circuit and branched hydraulic drives. The complexity of technological processes and the demand for precise and consistent executive movements present challenges for hydraulic drive developers. Throttle flow dividers are utilized to synchronize mechanisms powered by a single power source. The article discusses the creation and implementation of a testing platform for throttle dividers and flow dividers-adders, commonly used in various technical systems for regulating liquid or gas flow. It delves into the fundamental principles of throttle flow dividers-adders and details the design and functionality of the developed test bench. The results of experiments conducted to evaluate the bench's operation and measure accuracy are presented, providing insights into its efficacy and reliability for testing throttle flow dividers-adders.
