Regenerative Circuit
A double acting cylinder is hooked
up in the regenerative circuit.

The relief valve setting is 105 bars.

The piston area is 195 cm2, and

the rod area is 65 cm2.
If the pump ow is 0.0016 m3/s,

nd the ratio of cylinder speed

and load carrying capacity during
extending stroke to retracting
stroke.
