How Can Hydraulic Flow Be Controlled Between Two Pistons?

AI Thread Summary
Hydraulic flow control between two pistons can be complex, particularly when considering the effects of viscosity on fluid dynamics. Once hydraulic fluid begins to flow through a mechanical actuator, it is challenging to stop due to its inherent properties. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding inductance coupling and motor control design in managing hydraulic systems. Clarity in problem definition is essential for effective communication and troubleshooting. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the technical challenges of controlling hydraulic flow in mechanical applications.

I have considered myself versed on a topic as broad as hydrolic and recently came to doubt myself on a simple idea of what it takes to actuate a hydrolic flow between a junction of two piston's, so taking in mind the simple shape in the image Could this be stopped once the flow is pushing only slightly into an expanding cylinder and what kind of current flow are we talking about, I have just read a literal ton of information on the inductance coupling and have the design for an inductive(single wire) motor control array(I'd be happy to share).

Your posting does not make any sense at all . Please try to explain the problem more clearly .
 
hydrolic fluid probably cannot be stopped once it has started flowing through this simple mechanical actuator. My math says viscosity prohibits it.

Hello BrockLee... I think the correct technical spelling is Hydraulic... :oldsmile:

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
