Meter-In vs Meter-Out

When you're looking to control the motion of a hydraulic actuator, you will encounter the terms "meter-in" and "meter-out". We show you what they mean, the difference between them, situations where they work well, and what can go wrong.

Thanks for making this topic simple with animation. Really loved the way you explained.

Sir, you mentioned on metering out in both directions would cause a significant increase in pressure on the rod end.  What it not be better to meter out the bottom end and meter in the rod end? Thank you for any information.

Hello, i have a cilinder with a simulair movement. When the cilinder is max in and I steer the cilinder out, the first movement is really fast and uncontrolled, after the first steering, it is normal speed how i set with the orifice. Is this the case because of the vacuum/cavitation?

[mkaixie]

Do you know how to calculate the actuator's operating speed? Under loaded and unloaded conditions.

Dear Problem I have a single acting hydraulic cylinder with a stroke of 300 mm, a bore of 18 mm and a rod of 10 mm if the press weight is 10 mm on the Piston Head what is the explain the calculations

[ayushsharma]

what set of dynamical equations can be used to determine the vaccum pressure in the chambers?

[gagangowdac]

What is opposing load and running away load

[dineshkumar-gqfq]

What is the difference between fixed displacement pump and variable displacement pump?

Why oil should go through a check valve only, when return (meter-in), needle valve installed in parallel and it is open as well?

[sneauxwolfeJapan]

This is a tremendous help! Thank you!!

[genarocastellon]

Is this open loop or closed loop system?

Hi, I need some information to connect an electro-hydraulic distributor

[manxman]

what if you put a spring on the load to keep it against the cylinder?

[shrirangkulkarni]

thanx for these videos :) can you please make video on electrohydraulics and electro pneumatics?

[udayanpaul]

can you please tell me if my Marine hydraulic crane traverse motor or slewing motor runs jerky when traversing what might be the problem with this?

[milzzzy]

in your example (3:57) is that a double acting valve or a single acting valve?

[bluecrusader]

Would you have a video that explains end cushioning ?

[bardethehammer]

Can I have the program or demo to try which you use to create and simulate your hydraulic diagrams ?

[mermzmermz]

That meter out and in is that the turtle and rabbit sign on the panel?

[dheerajverma]

please upload video hydraulic pressure intensifier animation
