Control valve in Retract
• The pump drives hydraulic fluid to the control valve.
• The spool in the control valve directs pressurized fluid to the ram end of the cylinder.
• The pressurized fluid forces the piston down the bore of the cylinder.
• As the piston moves down the bore, it displaces fluid that is on the base side of the piston.
• The spool in the control valve also connects ports joining the base end of the cylinder to the reservoir.
• This allows displaced fluid to return to the reservoir.
