Cylinder Synchronizing Circuit

This document describes two circuits for synchronizing multiple cylinders: 1) A series synchronizing circuit where the extension of the first cylinder causes the second cylinder to extend in sequence. In retraction, the second cylinder retracts first and causes the first cylinder to retract. 2) A parallel synchronizing circuit where both cylinders extend and retract simultaneously due to fluid from the pump being delivered to both cylinders at the same time. The circuits are used to synchronize cylinders when moving a large mass to prevent distortion of the load from moments caused by asynchronous motion. Synchronization is needed because cylinders are never identical due to differences in seals and friction.

Cylinder Synchronizing Circuit

Introduction
 In industry, there are instances when a large mass must be moved, and it is not
feasible to move it with just one cylinder.
 In such cases we use two or more cylinders to prevent a moment or moments
that might distort and damage the load.
 These cylinders must be synchronized.
 When the two cylinders are identical, the loads on the cylinders are identical,
and then extension and retraction are synchronized.
 If the loads are not identical, the cylinder with smaller load extends first. Thus,
the two cylinders are not synchronized.
 Practically, no two cylinders are identical, because of packing(seals)friction
differences. This prevents cylinder synchronization for this circuit.

blank end of cylinder.
 As cylinder 1 extends, fluid from its rod Solenoid
