Maybe using the concept of a cushioned cylinder but instead the cushioning port draining internally the port would go to a sequence valve.
and if the area of cushioning...
@zeusfaber I like the idea of the end stop valve...
How would you go about building this? What parts are out there that might work that you are aware of?
As far as the rotary style actuators go, Its a good idea for the pressure curve but to get a big enough one to handle the torque and speed...
The Question:
-How would you go about automation the reciprocation of the hydraulic cylinder?
-How would you mechanically automate this system?
Context:
-I made a material piston pump that is powered with a hydraulic cylinder...
-The material pump needs to be on demand so I am using a variable...
