Sensitivity of a measuring device
Quotient of an observed change in the and the causing (sufficiently small) change in the input signal (or the measured variable ). The term sensitivity of a measuring device is primarily used for indi
Rate of pressure rise
Velocity at which the pressure in a device increases. It is measured in bar/s and defines, e.g. on pumps, the amplitude of the pressure pulsation-induced oscillations and with it also the amount of no
Settling time
Time span that starts when the value for the controlled variable after a step in the disturbance variable or reference variable exceeds a pre-defined portion of the control error and ends when it retu
Disturbance location
Entry point of a variable not influenced by the system on the action path, which disturbs the state required according to the task ( Disturbance variable ) (DIN 19 226).
Area ratio
The area ratio of a hydraulic cylinder is calculated from the square of the piston diameter dp divided by the square of the difference between the piston and rod diameters dp - dr. Calculate the area
Differential transformer
Inductive position measurement
Breather filter
Filter on the hydraulic fluid tank that filters the air flowing in as the pump draws fluid to prevent contamination by this route. Its filtration grade should correspond to that of the oil filter.
Telescopic connection
Arrangement of two pipes which are sealed off against one another and can be axially adjusted into one another. Telescopic connections are used with axially movable cylinders in place of hoses.
Quantisation
Conversion of an analogue variable into a discrete representation. In general, therefore, this means quantising an amplitude, with the amplitude area divided into smaller subsections. The process is k
Primary pressure
Pressure in the main circuit of a system (DIN 24 312).
