Force density
Variable for comparing drives involving different energy forms which specifies the transferable drive power per unit for the respective effective surface area in N/cm2. It is highly suitable for compa
Form of pulses
Indicates the quality of the pulse from a time perspective, e.g. rectangular pulse, sine pulse, among others.
Hydraulic braking cylinder
A device used for velocity regulation and connected to a pneumatic cylinder or motor (hydropneumatic cylinder drive) (CETOP RP 100).
Hall effect sensor
Contactless electrical switch for detecting positions using the Hall effect: if a current-carrying conductor is exposed to a magnetic field, a "Hall voltage" is generated in the conductor, which — dul
Bernoulli’s equation
Law for hydraulics. Equation defined by Daniel Bernoulli (1700—1782) in 1738 for the steady-state flow of incompressible fluids and gasses free of friction. Bernoulli’s equation is a fundamental law d
Hardness of materials for seals
Hardness is the resistance of a body to penetration by another. With materials for seals, this is measured as Shore A. For seals , the chosen degree of hardness would be a Shore A score of between 70
Control equipment
Combination of the regulator and control element ( Figure S 81 ). In hydraulic and open loop control systems it comprises the including the (piloting) valve .
Swelling of sealants
Increasing the volume of an elastomer seal through the action of the hydraulic fluid. The height of the swelling is different, depending on the seal materials . For example, polyamide swells strongly
Idling losses
Idling losses are power losses which occur when the system is not subjected to a load, i.e. when the system is not doing any useful work. Idling losses in, for example, hydrostatic displacement machin
