BASIC DIAGRAMS AND SYSTEMS:Automatic Venting at End of Cycle.
Automatic Venting at End of Cycle In systems where it is not necessary to hold pressure at the end of a cycle, it is possible to unload the pump by automatically venting the relief valve. Figure 9-10 shows such a system using a cam-operated pilot valve to vent the relief valve. Midstroke Extending In view A of Figure 9-10, the machine cycle begins when the solenoid of the spring off set directional valve is energized. Pump output is to the cap end of the cylinder. The vent line from the directional control valve is blocked at the cam-operated pilot valve. Midstroke Retracting In view B of Figure 9-10, the limit switch has contracted the cam at the end of the extension stroke. This contact breaks the circuit of the solenoid. The directional control valve has shifted to retract the cylinder. The relief valve vent connection is still blocked. Automatic Stop View C of Figure 9-10 illustrates the circuit at the end of the retraction stroke. The cam on the cyl...
