Settling process
Process in a system/device during the transition phase to achieving a steady-state if the system/device has been excited by a step function . The settling process therefore shows how a transfer elemen
Sampling controller
Controller on a digital basis (e.g. microprocessor) that samples the control error, calculates the correcting variable and sends it to the control element.
Response sensitivity
Change in the input signal that is necessary to generate a measurable change in the output signal, if the input signal is changed from a static point in the same direction in which the static point wa
Separation capability
Characteristic of a hydraulic fluid to separate from contamination by means of rising (air) or sinking (solids). Air separation capability: Characterises the ability of a hydraulic fluid to separate o
Volume reduction on pressure increase
The volume V0 of a hydraulic medium is reduced by the volume VD when the pressure Δp is increased. The factor is the reciprocal of the Kompressionsmodul K. The value of K can be assumed to be 1400 MPa
Shut-off unit
Unlockable check valve with twin design. The shut-off unit is arranged to compensate for leaks from directional valves with a piston structure between the consumer (e.g. cylinder ) and the directional
Duty ratio
Proportion of the time Tb for which a system or device (e.g. pump) is in operation during a specific period of time T s (e.g. a month or year). The duty ratio, besides what is required by way of relia
Dissipated heat
The total power lost by a hydraulic system is converted into heat, which is largely absorbed by the pressure fluid . It is comprised of the pressure losses caused by pipe friction and flow deflections
Viscosity
Property of a fluid to act against resistance to the opposite laminar movements of two neighbouring layers (DIN 1342 and IDN 51 550). A distinction is made between dynamic viscosity and kinematic visc
Secondary measures (in the case of sound)
Sum of all measures, which the system designer must take for a given pump (motor) to produce a quiet system (see noise creation in hydraulic systems). Specifically, this means: measures, which can red
