7 In a semi-automatic machine, a double acting hydraulic cylinder has a reciprocating motion. The forward motion is obtained using a regenerative circuit. The load during the forward stroke is 10 kN. The total stroke of 60 cm is to be completed in about 5 sec. The return speed is to be as fast as possible. Draw a hydraulic circuit to achieve the given objective. Select different components you have used in the circuit from the data given. Mention ratings of the components in case it is not available in the given Data.(16 marks) 8 (a) A hydraulic cylinder is used to push the object on a smooth surface. The total load on the hydraulic cylinder during forward stroke is 15.5 kN. The object has to be pushed at a distance of 500 mm in about 7 sec. The load during the retraction stroke is negligible, and it is to be retracted as fast as possible. Provision is required to hold the cylinder anywhere in between the end positions. Draw a simple hydraulic circuit, using Meter-in speed control method, to fulfill the given objective. Select different components from the data given. Specify ratings of the components in case it is not available in the given data.(10 marks) 8 (b) Analyze the circuit shown in Figure 8b.
