Abstract

Hydraulic power amplification systems and methods configured to selectively supply an interval of increased force to a working hydraulic cylinder. The systems generally comprise a working cylinder and a pressure amplification cylinder. The rod side chamber of the working cylinder is in fluid communication with the rod side chamber of the working cylinder, such that shifting of the pressure amplification cylinder piston increases the power applied to the rod side of the working cylinder piston. The hydraulic power amplification systems and methods are particularly useful for providing supplemental breakout force to working cylinders on loader equipment, such as bucket loaders.
