description Powered roof support is equipped with a hydraulic control system to ensure its required load capacity. The main problem arising from powered roof support during exploitation is providing the necessary load capacity. A decrease in load capacity is mainly associated with internal and external leakage in the cylinders, mainly in the hydraulic props. The hydraulic prop’s role is to ensure stability for the powered roof support. A special double block with an additional pressure boost was developed to counter the props’ leakage phenomenon. Pressure loss is replenished based on the solution proposed here. For this purpose, bench tests were commenced, in which a prop with an internal leakage was used. The research included the analysis of the operation of a boosted double block. The results allowed us to assess whether the developed solution can be the subject of further research conducted in real conditions.
