Transfer factor
Ratio of the change of the output variable to the input signal, i.e. the gradient of the characteristic curve . In the case of non-linear characteristic curves, the area for which the transfer factor
Sensor technology
Generic term for the methods and processes to accept measurement information and issue signals as the bearers of prepared information tailored to a given task, e.g. managing a technical process. Senso
Programmed control
Control whereby the reference variable is provided by a program memory (programmer). Its task is to pick out a point in the respective program and issue corresponding function commands. In order for a
Closed circuit position control system
whose task is to adjust the position (distance or angle of rotation) of an element (e.g. valve control spool, slide) to match a setpoint as closely as possible. The negative feedback for the controlle
Cylinder
Device, which converts the pressure energy of a medium into mechanical energy. The drive movement is normally straight. Piston cylinder : The mechanical force F K is created by the influence of the pr
Feed-forward control
Process to minimise the influence of interference in The correcting variable is subjected to a disturbance variable which compensates for interference present in the controlled subsystem by estimating
Switching position
Working positions of a valve that are used in the case of a switching process and have a binary character, i.e. they are only "open" or "closed" based on their actuation (" black-white valves ").
Null bias
With machine controls : The option to shift the origin for a coordinate axis in the control to a specified point. The position for the machine zero point remains stored in the control regardless of th
Piston seal
Seal at the piston for a cylinder . With single-acting cylinders ( plunger ), the piston is only subjected to pressure on one side so only needs sealing in one direction in most cases. For hydraulic c
Filtration
To remove particles of dirt that the pressure fluid is carrying with the aid of filtration of a wide range of types.
