Information

This example model shows how to move a load with a cylinder and how the cylinder motion can be changed by adjusting the throttle. The method of placing the flow control valve between the pump and actuator is called meter-in.

In both Fig. 1 and 2, the blue line shows the behavior when the throttle opening has been decreased. The red line shows the behavior without decreasing the throttle opening.

Fig. 1 Load position with slightly closed(throttleArea = 1e-07 m^2) and open (throttleArea = 1e-06 m^2) throttle orifice opening respectively

meterInPlot2

Fig. 2 Load speed with slighty closed (throttleArea = 1e-07 m^2) and open (throttleArea = 1e-06 m^2) throttle orifice opening respectively
