Utilisation factor
Measure for the usage of a device (e.g. a pump) during a working cycle. The basis for determining this parameter is the sequence diagram for the installation. The utilisation factor plays a role in th
Control amplifier
Activation amplifier for high response proportional valves ( Figure R 19 ). has largely the same functionality as proportional amplifiers for position-regulated proportional directional valves.
Break away pressure
Pressure required to overcome the stiction under defined conditions (DIN 24 312)
Hydrostatic laws
The technical processes in hydraulics are essentially based on the following basic laws of physics: Pascal's law : (Blaise Pascal, 1623—1662). Every force acting on a stationary fluid generates a pres
Electro-hydraulic linear amplifier
Stepper motor-operated or less frequently DC motor-operated hydraulic cylinder with integrated control unit ( following control valve ) and mechanical feedback via spindle or toothed rack that can be
External fluid admission
On valve-controlled radial piston machines on which the pistons are supported on an eccentric element (internal support) the supply of the hydraulic fluid on motors is from the exterior onto the pisto
Flange mounted filter
Filter that is formed as an intermediate plate filter or as a flange mounted filter for attachment to the tank or to control blocks . Flange mounted filters are often used before high response proport
Switching position monitoring
Device on valves to control the position of the switching element and therefore the functionality of the valves. The position monitoring is commonly performed using proximity sensors or displacement t
Digital control with signal hold
In a digital control with signal hold, the value achieved for the output variable is retained following removal or withdrawal of the reference variable — particularly following termination of the trig
Sintered metal filter
Volume (bulk) filter , which is pressed from metal balls in the sintering process ( Figure S 63 ). The filtration grade , i.e. the size of the pores, is determined by the diameter of the balls. The si
