6.3.5 VP progressive metering device with flow limiter
for oil, attachment 07
Functioning of the flow limiter
The flow limiter installed on the VP progres-
sive metering device has two restrictors
installed in series (D
1
, D
2
). Restrictor D
1
is
an interchangeable plug-in nozzle which,
as a nonadjustable restrictor, determines
the rated volumetric flow. The nonadjust-
able restrictor D
1
is available in different
nozzle sizes (see table). Restrictor D
2
, on the
other hand, is adjustable and has a variable
nozzle size depending on the position of
control piston RK. Displacement of the con-
trol piston (RK) against the spring force (F)
automatically changes the flow resistance
of restrictor D
2
in such a way that the dif-
ferential pressure at nonadjustable restrictor
D
1
remains constant, as does the volumetric
flow as a result.
