Feed height
Fluid level height above an inlet or outlet opening. In the case of a negative inlet height, the suction pressure for pumps is lower than the ambient pressure (Figure Z 8).
Directional valves 2-way valves
Valves with two controlled ports: inlet and outlet. Examples: 2/2-way directional valves, 2-way flow control valve, amongst others
Supply of a control unit
Entirety of all functional units to supply the technical control and feedback control devices with energy. The term supply can be more clearly specified by adding supplementary terms as a prefix accor
Transmission pressure
Pressure, which arises under the influence of a transmission ratio before the smaller area A 2. It is Ratio of piston areas α α greater than the pressure p 1 acting on the larger area A 1 by the ratio
Transport movement of a cylinder
The transport movement of a cylinder is characterised by the force/time curve and the position/time curve. Normally, the largest force to be applied by the cylinder occurs when the load is being accel
Minimum pressure
Lower limit for a pressure value at which a device or system will still be functional (DIN 24 311).
Measuring turbine
Uses the velocity of the flowing medium to rotate a paddle wheel when the flow is in an axial direction ( Figure M 21 ). The turbine rotation speed in such cases is used to measure the passing flow ra
Manual mode
Operating mode whereby a machine is controlled using manually operated valves. These days, the only area where manual operation is still predominant is mobile hydraulics . In addition, the term manual
Linear
Describes the state whereby the relationship between two adjustable variables remains constant.
