Servo drive
Drive elements activated by an amplifying auxiliary force (e.g. power steering, servo brake). In fluid technology : Collective term for an automatic drive system, which contains a power amplifier and a
Open circuit
Basic design for a hydraulic drive in which the pump draws in the hydraulic fluid from a storage tank, the surface of which is open to atmospheric pressure. The oil is conveyed to the consumer via directional
Control in the power range
part of the overall control system of a plant, which is to control the compressed air or hydraulic fluid. in terms of direction, strength and pressure potential from the pump to the cylinder (motor). Its
Throttle
pressure difference, the flow rate is also dependent to some extent on the viscosity of the pressure fluid.
Electric-hydraulic analogy
circumstances form the basis for bond graphs (Figure A 19) . The understanding of some processes in fluid technology is improved if use is made of the analogies that exist between electrical and hydraulic
Cleanliness level
Characterises the number of particles present in hydraulic fluid . Purity classes are stated either in filter classes according to NAS 1638 — which specifies the permitted particle numbers in five particle
Automatic sealing
that radial forces, the so-called preload , are produced that make it impossible for the hydraulic fluid to flow around the seal even in the unpressurised state. With increasing pressure increasingly large
Flow rate measurement procedure
the dynamic pressure principle (dynamic pressure probe) and the variable area principle are used in fluid technology . They work indirectly and can be very small. Procedures for measuring the duration with
Differential cylinder
the piston area AK to the annular area on the piston rod side is essential for the function of the fluid-related circuit (CETOP RP100). Differential cylinders apply predominantly compressive forces in the
Valve actuation
For fluid valves there are a number of actuation types: Manual actuation: Actuation using a hand or foot (including manual override). Mechanical actuation using levers, plungers and/or rollers and springs
