Incremental angle encoder
Device for angle measurement (indirect travel measurement). It receives the travel pulses generally via a spindle-nut system and converts them into the rotation of a graduated disc that is scanned pho
Nominal valve sizes
The statement of a nominal size for valves is essentially only a reference value, which - contrary to the previously used "nominal width (NW)" - does not provide any indication of the cross-sections a
Acoustic decoupling measures
Measures used to prevent sound from being passed on from the (active) sounds generators (in hydraulic systems : pump, motor, valves ) to downstream components that are capable of oscillating (passive
Nominal flow rate
General : Flow rate under nominal operating conditions. These are the conditions for which a device has been designed based on its application and when not subjected to a load (CETOP RP 100). For cont
Hydraulic capacity C h
Refers to the compliance of system elements ( compressibility of the oil, elasticity of the pipe, spring effect of a hydraulic accumulator ): The hydraulic capacity should be kept as low as possible i
Fault detection
Covers measures for the detection of faults (monitoring the occurrence of a fault), fault localisation (finding the cause of the fault) and fault indication (i.e. providing information on the cause of
Compression set
If an elastic material (elastomer or specific thermoplastics) is excessively deformed under pressure, lasting deformation may be caused such that after the end of the pressure action only part of the
Control error
Difference between the setpoint and actual value of the control variable . It is positive if the actual value is smaller than the desired value. A differentiation is made between: a residual control e
Resonance
Designates the oscillation of a system capable of oscillation, which is linked to another or is otherwise periodically stimulated. In the case of poorly damped systems close to the natural frequency ,
Types of motion of cylinders
On cylinders a differentiation is made between four different types of motion that affect the structure of the drive: Transport motion : with the highest force required on accelerating the load. The v
