Regenerative system
Regenerative system
(OP)
I have a regenerative type hydraulic system. It does not quite have enough power on the extension cycle, the retraction cycle is fine. Does anyone know how I can get more power on the extension cycle, or will I have to replace the cylinders with a larger diameter rod?
Thanks,

RE: Regenerative system
Or you could arrange a sort of sequence valve arrangement that would change from regenerative to non-regenerative mode. This would give you rapid advance that regeneration gives with a full force push that non-regeneration gives at a predetermined pressure. It's been a while since I did this for a shear, so I will have to think about it. Someone else may have the quick answer.

What is the Rod Diameter (Inches)?
What is your Valve flow rate in GPM? Valve Size?
What is the maximum pressure setting (PSI)?
What pressure does a Gauge read (PSI) while extending in Regeneration?
Can you post a schematic?

hat gives 1.767 Sq. In's. on the Blind Side, 0.7854 Sq. In's for the Rod Area and 0.9816 for the Annuls Area on the Retract side. As you can see it is not 2:1 but as close as you can get using the standard Rod Diameters offered.
Most cylinder manufacturer's catalogs show the standard and 2:1 Rod Area cylinders.

You can see circuit designs for these circuits at:
http://www.hydraulicspneumatics.com/200/eBooks/ in the Fluid Power Circuits Explained book when Chapter on Regeneration is presented. They are putting up a chapter every other month or so.
You can see brochures this and a basic training book with information on content and price here:
