    Default Beginner question for Hydraulics

    Hi everyone -

    I've purchased and experimented with pneumatics and wanted to experiment with hydraulics.

    For pneumatics, I had purchased a few cylinders, some clippard solenoids and hooked it all up to a micro controller. It was informative to say the least.

    My goal: Hook up a single double acting cylinder and be able to extend and contract it with an electronically controlled valve. I would be okay with a manual valve to start.

    For the cylinder I was thinking something along the lines of this:

    Surplus Center - 1X4X0.5 DA HYD CYL

    I think it is fairly inexpensive and small. I don't have any general purpose in mind other than to just get it working.

    I know I need a reservoir, a pump, a valve, and hosing.

    Anyone suggest any low cost, low performance parts to complete this project?

    Shane
