Valve block design
task of connecting and linking individual devices. In this way the number of ports - and therefore the risk of leaks - is minimised. The requirements for ease of access and small installation volume are
Action of multiple resistance
made in fluid technology between series and parallel resistances. For series circuits - as is the case for pipelines - the individual resistances are added ( series circuit ). This means, for example for
Parallel connection
Assembly option for hydraulic valves whereby the required valves for a function — e.g. directional valve, flow valves , high response proportional valves are assembled on top of each other on a base plate
Displacement machine (displacement unit)
units (generally pistons) performing a linear movement. All displacement machines – with the exception of the screw pumps – can be classified using the aforementioned schematic. Opposite: flow machines . [...] machines the transport process takes place in a circumferential direction and is characterised by the size 2π. The displacement units are gear wheels and moving or rigid barrier elements (vanes). The group of
Proportional valves
systems , there are throttle valves ( Figure P 27 ) and 2-way and 3-way flow control valves . Here, the throttle ( measuring throttle ) in the form of a 2/2-way or 4/2-way valve is actuated by a proportional [...] fine control range ( Figure P 30 ).Figure P 24: Electric position feedback in a proportional valve Figure P 25: Proportional pressure valve with electric feedback Figure P 26: Pilot-controlled proportional [...] Figure P 27: Proportional throttle valve Figure P 28: Directly controlled proportional directional valve Figure P 29: Proportional directional valve, pilot-controlled with directional valve Figure P 30:
Electro-hydraulic control technology
controls with electrical (electronic) signal processing. As the to the hydraulics - the servo valves and proportional valves - has already been in use for some time, all control system-related developments [...] Electro-hydraulic control technology therefore combines the advantages of electrical signal processing - such as the ease of linking, saving and amplifying electrical signals , ease of compliance with priorities
Three chamber valve
4/3 directional valve with three annular channels in the housing for the three ports A, B and P (Figure D 42) . The 4th port T is to the spring chambers F1 and F2 that are connected together via a connecting
Area ratio
piston diameter dp divided by the square of the difference between the piston and rod diameters dp - dr. Calculate the area ratio directly and easily in our hydraulic calculator .
Electronic Flow Sharing
control unit onboard knows and monitors each individual valve section: - the nominal flow rate - their priority - the maximum pump volume - the nominal flow rate of all other valve sections in the same valve
Bulk modulus
around 1.5 · 105 N/cm2. Air in the form of bubbles reduces the bulk modulus significantly (at least for pressures under 200 bar). In practice therefore, the bulk modulus is often 1.0 to 1.2 x 105 N/cm2 (see [...] k = V o – V (Figure K 26) , all that is required is the "average" bulk modulus: where V o = volume under pressure, Δ V k = compression volume. The size of the bulk modulus for air-free oil at 50°C is around
