|In this video the sequence valve is set to ~500psi and I change parameters in the circuit including external torque on motor.
|Sorry about the audio. Interesting results. The load on the motor may be low because the hammers pivot out of the way. I'm not sure how to go about calculating it but I could figure out the minimum diameter of the rotor (hammers pivoted) and start there.

In both the above videos the setting of the two pressure relief valves changes motor speed and cylinder travel speed. I try to set it to minimize flow through main bypass valve.

This page includes information about the entire electromechanical hydraulic control system for the soil mixer. This is a variant of CEB Press Controller v19.01


Controller Requirements

  • Needs to switch a double acting cylinder while running a hydraulic motor
  • Needs to cycle a dc motor for cement dosing
  • Water mister solenoid

Electronics

  • Mega 2560
  • Relay Shield (3A)
  • External Relays boards for >3A
  • Fused Battery Connection
  • High Pressure Switch

Hydraulics

Hydraulic Calculations

Hydraulic Cylinder Volumes. 2.5x12x1.25 Cylinder
Cap End Volume:((2.5in)/2)^2 * 3.14 * 12in =58.875 cu in
Rod Volume: ((1.25in)/2)^2 * 3.14 * 12in = 14.71875 cu in
Rod End Volume = 58.875 cu in - 14.71875 cu in = 44.15625‬ cu in

Cylinder Travel Speeds
Flow Rate Extend Time Retract Time
5 GPM 3.06s 2.29s
7.5 GPM 2.04s 1.53s
10 GPM 1.53s 1.15s
12.5 GPM 1.22s 0.92s
