ABSTRACT:
A flow divider is described for accurately dividing and metering the flow of a common fluid, such as fuel oil, to a plurality of fluid outlets. The flow divider includes a plurality of metering gear sets rigidly fixed on two parallel common continuous shafts, with each of the gear sets separated from adjacent gear sets by separater spacers also fixed on the shafts but free to move in a common radial cavity formed by a split housing enclosing the shafts and gears. The two parallel common continuous shafts are supported at each end by roller bearings which are separated from the gear sets by means of a seal and are lubricated by a separate source of lubricant. The roller bearings on one end of the parallel shafts are fixed in an axial location relative to the shafts and the roller bearings on the other end of the common shafts are free to move axially without experiencing binding or seizing of the shafts or roller bearings.
