Hydraulic Closed-Loop System with Two-Way Valve

The model demonstrates the use of a two-way valve in a closed-loop circuit together with a double-acting cylinder, fixed orifice, mechanical mass, spring, damper, and control blocks.

The valve is initially opened by 0.42 mm to assure that the cylinder force is close to zero at the start of simulation. The PS Gain block simulates a lever through which a control signal is applied to the valve.
