Code
Agreed code for the translation of information available in a stipulated form into a different form while maintaining the information content. A code can also be a code for an agreed character set tha
Bourdon tube
Measuring element for pressure gauges. This is a tube bent into a circular shape mostly with an oval cross-section that is clamped at one end. If pressure is introduced to the tube the free end moves
Quiescent flow
Flow rate which continues to flow for proportional valves, high response proportional valves and servo valves when the consumer ports are closed and at a system pressure p o. It results from the leaka
Electro-hydraulic actuation
Hydraulic (pressurised) actuation of a valve by a small, directly solenoid actuated valve (pilot valve). Here the pilot valve is mostly directly on the main valve (Figure E 19) . With this combination
Oil sampling
The oil samples needed to check the degree of contamination of hydraulic fluids must be taken in compliance with highly specific guidelines or the measurement results will not be representative for th
Main valve
(Opposite of pilot valve). With pilot-controlled valves, the main valve is the actual working valve actuated by the pilot valve .
Speed measurement
For speed measurement analogue or digital measuring procedures are used. Analogue tacho generators or rotary encoders are not particularly suitable for low rotation speeds due to their low signal leve
Throttle valve
Flow valve with fixed or adjustable throttling cross-section. Its flow is dependent on the pressure difference at the throttle: the smaller the pressure difference Δp between the (constant) inlet pres
Thermoplastics
Group of elastic materials, which become soft (thermoelastic) when energy is added (temperature increase), where moulded parts lose their form (voltage). When cooling, plastification of the materials
Stepper motor
Motor in connection with a clock as a pilot actuation such that the motor follows the steps exactly. There have even been hydraulic stepper motors, in which a body of rotation controlled by a solenoid
