I don't see why it has be this way. Running a pump at full power past a valve sounds daft. That's why the new pressbrakes, presses and injection moulding machines use servo hydraulics. Simply put, you have a gear pump, and both ends go to a cylinder. Turn one way, rod extends. Turn other way, rod

Yes, I would be surprised of those cylinders were not special. I remember seeing those machines at GM when I used to work there years ago. They could really beat a car's suspension up and they would run them for days and days to see if stuff would break, tear out, wear out, etc. They were real
