Filler filter
As new mineral oil is most definitely not pure (generally contamination class 6...7 according to NAS 1638), it should be filtered on filling the tank. Filler filters and breather filters comprise an a
A/D converter
An analogue-digital converter converts an analogue input signal (a DC voltage) into a digital output signal, i.e. into a proportional number. The quantisation error caused by the stepwise digitisation
Bistable (flip flop) valve
Bistable switching element in which the switching state last used is retained also after the removal of the input signal (memory action).
Wetting ability
Ability of a hydraulic fluid to cover the surface over which it is distributed to a greater or lesser degree. Hydraulic fluids with good wetting ability adhere better to the surface. As a consequence
Power loss
Sum of losses arising in a fluid system. It is comprised of the pressure losses caused by mechanical and hydraulic friction and flow losses , leakage losses , throttle losses , which generally constit
Gap seals
Non-contact seals , which are characterised by a final distance between sealing surfaces, in which the working medium (against which it is to be sealed) is located. The geometry of the sealing gap (si
Integrated circuit (IC)
Semiconductor component combining thousands of electronic functions within an area of a few mm2. It is mass-produced in the form of chips and is an essential feature of modern microelectronics.
Semiconductor memory
Memories made out of semiconductor elements which are generally integrated into computers as the main memory and used to prepare large volumes of data and programs. A distinction is made between: ROM:
Fluid level gauge
Device that measures and displays the liquid level in a tank.
