Title: Hydraulic press brake idea
Post by: shipto on August 10, 2024, 06:12:09 AM
I have a small number of rams and a powerpack and had planned to modify the rams like in the pic.
I may need a flow divider which are quite expensive but not a deal breaker but I am interested in opinions or other potential problems with this way of doing things.

Obviously it's important that no fluid can pass from one cylinder to the other to maintain stability, so some kind of flow control valve will be essential .

I know my brother found using a motorised power pack difficult (hydraulic flow control like a digger),  so switched to an air powered pulse type , which he says is easier to control (perhaps slower)
