Basically what you described is what we have planned to do.
There is a pilot operated directional valve which loops both motor lines while the suction line remains open to tank.
We were sure in the beginning that this solution would work however the motor manufacturer (his representative) was...
Mike,
Providing positive head of pressure to the motor by a line from the tank is not possible in our case as the tank is places approx. 1 meter below the winch. We were considering this before - tank has to be lower due to manufacturing & operation reasons.
hydtools,
The installation height...
Hi Gents,
We have an ongoing simple winch project and got stuck a bit with hydraulic motor issue.
The system consists of a hydraulic unit (tank+gear pump+el motor), supplying pressure/flow to an axial piston motor.
The winch is equipped with centrifugal brakes (same principle as drum brakes in...
Dear Gents,
Currently I am trying to design a hydraulic absorbing system for a small on-board crane. This system consists of a hydraulic cylinder and a bladder accumulator connected in a closed loop via piping.
The work principle is that the cylinder remains extended during normal conditions...
