HLP oils
Short term for hydraulic oils with additives designed to provide protection against ageing, corrosion and wear. Used where increased wear is expected, as may be the case when high levels of pressure a
Laminar flow
Flow in pipes; flow in gaps. Below the critical Reynolds number (depending on the shape of the cross section), a laminar flow will apply. The individual elements of the fluid only move in the directio
Velocity error
Error between setpoint and actual value caused by a velocity. Here the actual value is behind the setpoint. For this reason the velocity error is also termed the "following error". The velocity error
Foot mounting
Types of mounting of cylinders
Rise rate of a signal
Signal rise a function of time
Electric signal processing
Signal processing with switching elements such as contactors among others. This technology is outdated, complex and slow. It is therefore only used for small, relatively simple systems. Exception: Saf
Dynamic seal
Seal that has to seal a moving surface. Although the expression is often used, it is incorrect, as the seal is not "dynamic", but only seals a moving surface. Opposite: " static" seal .
Pressure wave
Spatial propagation of a pressure change (DIN 24 312).
