Is it possible to operate 2 (or more) cylinders simultaneously?
Realistically, it would be difficult to synchronise 2 (or more) cylinders using one valve. The reason is that even if identical piping conditions are used, the seal friction resistance and guide resistance for each cylinder is different, meaning that they will not move in the same way. Even if initially piping and load conditions are made the same and the speed controller adjusted for synchronisation, as time passes the timing will begin to deviate, causing the load on one cylinder to increase which will subsequently shorten product life.
