Automatic Cylinder Reciprocating System
The hydraulic circuit shown in Fig. 1.8 produces continuous reciprocation of a double-acting cylinder using two sequence valves. Each sequence valve senses the completion of stroke by the corresponding build-up pressure. Each check valve and the corresponding pilot line prevent the shifting of the four-way valve until the particular stroke of the cylinder is completed.
The check valves are needed to allow pilot oil to leave either end of the DCV while the pilot pressure is applied to the opposite end. This permits the spool of the DCV to shift as required.
