The carrier’s oil flow can be restricted to achieve the right operating pressure. Restrictors can be ordered from the spare parts list. The diagrams show oil flow at viscosity 32 cSt. 11.4.1 SBU 160: 100–150 bar The flow diagram is valid for applications with back pressure up to 10 bar. For applications where the back pressure ex- ceeds 10 bar, a restrictor must be chosen regarding the working pressure in each specific case.
