Help with two hydraulic cylinders and DCV

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the operation of two hydraulic cylinders using a directional control valve (DCV). The user seeks guidance on how to configure the DCV so that Cylinder #1 extends and retracts, followed by Cylinder #2 extending and retracting, all while using a single DCV. There is a request for clarification on the type of DCV needed and any possible diagrams to illustrate the setup. Participants confirm that a DCV can control the sequence of operations. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clear understanding of the DCV's role in managing the hydraulic system.

i hope someone can help i have a question.
i two hdyraulic cylinders. cyl #1 must extend then retract when cyl 1 is retracted, cyl2 must extend then retract but i can only use dcv how can this be done what type dcv must i useand if possible a drawing would be great.
thank you in advance.

Just saw this so it may be too late to help you but what is a dcv? Directional valve?

I'm going to assume a dcv is a directional control valve. Yes, easily done. Is only one dcv to be used or two?
