This document outlines the components and design of an electro-hydraulic system laboratory experiment. The system uses a hydraulic power pack, solenoid valves, a double-acting cylinder, push button, relays, and limit switch. When the push button is pressed, it actuates a relay which extends the double-acting cylinder. Once fully extended, the limit switch actuates a relay with a 3 second delay to retract the cylinder back to its starting position.

Design
Pressing the push button will actuate the relay coil (K1), so the relay
contact (K1) will close, which actuates the solenoid valve (1Y1), and the
double-acting cylinder starts to extend.
Once the double-acting cylinder been in the fully extended position (A2),
It will wait until another signal come from (1Y2), So the limit switch.
(A2) will close and actuate the relay with pick up delay of 3 seconds.
(K2), and that closes (K2) relay contact, and the signal actuates (1Y2),
Leading to return the double-acting cylinder to its fully retracted position.
It will wait for another push to perform the same cycle again.
