Shock wave
A pressure oscillation , which expands at the speed of sound.
Noise level (A-weighted) L pA
The sound pressure measured is not the same as that received by the human ear. To balance this out, the measured result is subjected to a method known as A-weighting. Here, the signal is amplified dif
Program flowchart
Representation of all the possible paths associated with a program execution sequence (DIN 44 300). The program flowchart makes it possible therefore to provide an overview of the control sequence for
Air consumption
Specified in dm3/min or in dm3 per working cycle for a cylinder (motor) or an entire system. All air volumes specified have been converted to the standard state for air (CETOP RP 100).
Force density
Variable for comparing drives involving different energy forms which specifies the transferable drive power per unit for the respective effective surface area in N/cm2. It is highly suitable for compa
Form of pulses
Indicates the quality of the pulse from a time perspective, e.g. rectangular pulse, sine pulse, among others.
Hydraulic braking cylinder
A device used for velocity regulation and connected to a pneumatic cylinder or motor (hydropneumatic cylinder drive) (CETOP RP 100).
Hall effect sensor
Contactless electrical switch for detecting positions using the Hall effect: if a current-carrying conductor is exposed to a magnetic field, a "Hall voltage" is generated in the conductor, which — dul
Limit signal
Binary output signal from a limit monitor (DIN 19 237).
