a ram? a cylinder you mean? if so then no. a constant power to a solenoid will not multiposition a cylinder. never knew you could power both sides of a spike at once. interesting. ive tried both ground and diode ways. i personally liked the two separate circuits (ground) method better.
another way is to just connect the two opposite. so one side is positive but for the other solenoid on the same valve is neg. and the opposite on the other side of the spike.
