Suction line
Line connected to the intake port of a hydraulic pump or compressor and permits the transport of hydraulic fluid.
Error threshold
Limit for the magnitude of an error that must be exceeded for the error to be indicated or so that in redundant systems the system switches over to the redundant channel (with standby redundancy). On
Force sensor
Measuring instrument whereby the force to be measured acts directly on the measuring element. Measuring is mainly performed via .
ISO
Worldwide association of national standards institutes whose technical committee TC 131 works on all standardisation tasks associated with fluid technology. The resulting ISO standards are either adop
Incremental position encoder
Encoder whereby a bar pattern ( incremental position measurement ) is applied to a disc. As this rotates, the angle of rotation is determined via the number of increments counted during the period of
Pulse generator
Device which gives out pulses with a prescribed frequency at the output when a signal is pending at the input.
Frequency analysis
Determination of the composition of noise in relation to individual frequencies. Normally the measurement is made in steps of one octave (frequency doubling, octave band).
Required filtration grade
In principle, filtering should as be fine as necessary, not as fine as possible. In general the filtration grade is defined by the manufacturer of the related device. These days this information is so
Spring assisted sealing elements
A sleeve made of certain elastomers (e.g. fluoroplastics) contains a spring made of stainless steel that provides defined, constant sealing forces (Figure F 2) . Spring assisted sealing elements are u
Pressure flow
Flow that is produced in the gap between two chambers with different pressures p 1 and p 2.
