In the dividing mode, the IFD56-45 will divert input flow from port ③ to ports ② and ④, based on the ratio specifified, regardless of operating pressure. When the flow direction is reversed the valve will combine flows from ② and ④ to port ③. Synchronizing flow is provided in both the dividing and combining modes at "bottomed" conditions in cylinder applications and at "stalled" conditions in motor applications.
