Note:
Two check-Q-meters cannot be used to control two cylinders
which are forced mechanically to move together, as
synchronisation and the same pressure cannot be guaranteed
in each cylinder.
Therefore, the cylinders have to be equipped with two pilot
operated check valves, type SL. The check-Q-meter is fitted in
a common line.
