Power losses
Difference between the power supplied and the power delivered ( hydraulic efficiency ). Much of what is lost can be attributed to: volumetric losses : these are caused by incomplete filling of the pum
Neutralisation number
Measurement for the acid content of a mineral oil . It indicates how many mg of potassium hydroxide are needed to neutralise in 1 g of oil the free acids generated during operation. Since the acid con
Operating viscosity
Information on the operating viscosity characterises the viscosity range in which the entire system can operate. A differentiation is made between three key figures: Maximum start viscosity : Characte
Digitally controlled valves
Pressure and flow valves with digital adjustment of the pressure and the flow rate by digital cylinders or by electrical stepper motors. While only a limited number of steps are allowed with cylinder
Seals
Systems that are intended to prevent pressure equalisation between two chambers at different pressures and that are connected together by gaps. For this purpose non-contact seals ( gap seals ) or - mo
Model of open loop system
Mathematical model of a controlled subsystem, , which describes its the static and dynamic behaviour.
Drag flow pressure
Pressure, which builds up under certain constraints in front of a piston rod seal and which can reach several times the nominal pressure of the system. The drag flow pressure is caused by the drag flo
Surface filter
Filter which only separates off impurities at the surface of the filter element. Surface filters are designed with pores (gap) of a similar size, which means they can retain certain sizes of particle
Piston rings for sealing
The kind of piston ring associated with the combustion engine can also be found in mechanical engineering. As a piston seal installed in a hydraulic cylinder , it has the advantage of showing very lit
