Stick slip
Interaction between a spring-loaded mass system (e.g. cylinder + oil column + load) and the pressurisation at very low sliding speeds ( Figure S 94 ). The stiction of the system –– which is primarily
Phase shift
Refers to the shift, expressed as the angle φ, between two sinusoidal variables or signals with the same angular frequency ω such as the input and for a transfer element . The phase shift is described
Surface foam
Air bubbles rising up from the oil in the container may form a surface foam which can have a disruptive effect within the hydraulic system. Since surface foam causes cavitation in pumps, it must not b
Emergency stop
Deviates from the normal sequence of functions for an operating unit or machine by switching it to a safe state via the shortest possible route. This may mean a sudden stoppage, but may also include s
Post-cure, overcure
1. Subsequent heat treatment (tempering) of certain elastomers whereby optimal characteristics do not emerge until the associated final linking occurs. 2. Unwelcome additional linking under the influe
Measured variable
Physical variable whose value is to be determined via measurement.
Load stiffness
Ability of a system (e.g. of a hydraulic drive) to yield as little as possible under an external load. Load stiffness for linear drives is mostly stated in N / μm. It can be compared with spring stiff
Charge amplifier
Device which converts the electrical charge associated with a measuring instrument into a voltage signal and amplifies it in accordance with the piezoelectric effect.
Piston motor
The radial piston motor tends to predominate with its special pneumatic motor variety. The piston motor supports high loads across all rotation speed ranges and is particularly suitable for low rotati
ISO
Worldwide association of national standards institutes whose technical committee TC 131 works on all standardisation tasks associated with fluid technology. The resulting ISO standards are either adop
