Pressure-flow (p-Q) control of a pump
electrically on proportional valves. In this way the performance map of a flow rate control system can be superimposed on a performance map of a pressure control system and in this way the losses with closed
Pilot-controlled valves
large actuation forces are pilot-controlled by a smaller valve ( pilot valve ). Here the pilot valve can be mechanically actuated (e.g. for piloted check valves), pressure actuated (e.g. for pressure valves
Contamination in operation
from the seals or Ageing products from the hydraulic fluid (sludge among others). Sometimes there can also be water (that has entered the system or condensation).
Seated valve
Check valve . The ball prevents return flow of the fluid. As spring-loaded versions, this valve type can also be used as a Pressure-limiting valve or as a self-actuating seal. This protects a pressure system [...] pressure. Disc-seated valves ( c ) also known as poppet valves, have a disc-shaped sealing element, which can easily be created in duplicate, resulting in a 3/2 directional valve. They are sealed at normal pipe [...] hydraulics as: Check valve Pressure-limiting valve 2/2, 3/2, 4/2 and 4/3 directional valves . These can also be combined in an extremely compact fashion as a valve bank and flange-mounted directly on power
Hydrostatic laws
Bernoulli, 1700—1782). The total energy content of a flowing fluid remains the same. From this law it can be derived that the sum of the static pressure and dynamic pressure is constant: This means that in [...] places of high flow velocity the static pressure drops such that air separation or even cavitation can occur. Orifice law : This law defines the outlet velocity of a flow from a chamber or a pipe that is [...] velocity, causes reaction forces. On the actuation of directional valves with a spool this situation can result in undesirable incorrect switching. In addition, there is of course also the behaviour of technical
Pressure switches
Signalling specific pressure values, Initiating control and regulation processes. Pressure switches can contain pistons, diaphragms or corrugated tubes as the pressure transmitting element. Although the [...] latter elements are absolutely free of leaks, they are only suitable for low pressures. Piston switches can also be designed for high pressures, but due to the sealing friction they have a hysteresis . In the
Energy content of hydraulic fluid
pressure + geodetic pressure. This equation yields the related energy element as The last term ρ · g · h can generally be ignored in hydraulics, as it is mostly only a few tenths of a bar. The kinetic energy [...] pressure in the still full chamber will be zero. The compression energy released during this process can be significant. Example: ΔV k = 1.0 L; p = 300 bar; compression energy: 15 · 103 Nm. If this 1 L flows
Velocity measurement
angle. It can be obtained either by direct measurement or by differentiating the position. Differentiation of analogue signals If the position is available as an analogue voltage, the velocity can be determined [...] application a gearwheel can be used to change the field directly. The frequency of the output voltage is then defined by the rotation speed and the number of teeth. An analysis circuit can convert the pulse [...] used up to now (Figure G 9 a) . Even at low rotation speed these devices provide a DC signal that can be evaluated without problems. This voltage is proportional to the rotation speed over a wide tacho
Optimising the controller
rule, this takes place on the adjustment elements provided for this. However, controller optimisation can also be performed by replicating the system and then simulating the different controller settings.
Influencing the switching time
valves by providing a throttle valve between the pilot valve and main valve Throttle valve , which can be used to configure the desired switching speed of the main valve ( Figure S 20 ).
