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

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
