Because one cylinder may not have enough force for something

Question 3

How can you setup synchronized cylinders?

Answer 3

Using mechanical synchronization where they are attached to the same machine part to link them
You could also use flow control values; the fluid flow controls the cylinders from balance
(The method used differs in control circuit)

Question 4

Why do you sync cylinders with multiple limit switches?

Answer 4

Because flow control is used to balance speed but is not accurate

Question 5
