Hydraulic circuit for milling machine is comparatively different from other circuits. Table movement of milling machine is required to be adjustable for different feeds for different type of work. Therefore for both strokes of the cylinder, on both ends of cylinder flow control valves are used.

Another feature of this circuit is that there are two pumps

The function of booster pump is to boost the hydraulic pressure to a higher level than given by main pump. Reason behind using this type is to save power as well as use of high pressure high discharge pump is avoided.

4/3 DCV used manually operated stroke length of cylinder is adjustable through limit switch.

In centre position of 4/3 DCV all the ports are close therefore, total hydraulic system is lock.

In position (I) pump flow is given to cylinder blank end and extension starts and oil from rod end is discharge to tank.
