Define Force and Pressure<\/h2>\n<p>Use cylinder area and machine load to determine working pressure, including linkage and pressure losses.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Convert Speed to Flow<\/h2>\n<p>Flow equals effective area times piston velocity. Extend and retract can require different flow for equal speeds.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Check Motor Supply and Duty<\/h2>\n<p>Battery lifts may use short bursts; production machines can cycle for hours. Electrical supply and thermal duty should follow the real cycle.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Define Valve Logic<\/h2>\n<p>Direction, load holding, controlled lowering, regeneration and proportional motion are circuit functions. Send a schematic or motion sequence.<\/p>\n<h2>5.
