A hydraulic cylinder has to move a table of weight 1350 Kg. Speed of the cylinder is to be accelerated 05
up to a velocity of 7.8 m/min in 0.5 sec & brought to stop within a distance of 20 mm. Assume
co-efficient of friction as 0.15, bore dia as 50 mm, rod dia as 20 mm and acceleration due to
gravity as 10 m/s. Calculate
i) Cylinder power in KW ii) Surge pressure in extraction and retraction stroke.

With the aid of neat sketch/circuit, explain the configurations in which filters may be located. 06
