Mounting wall
Valve assembly system in hydraulics whereby a mounting area for valves — to which the pipe is screwed from behind — is attached to the drive unit, while the valves are mounted from the front so they a
Three position valve
Valve with three switching positions (e.g. forward-stop-backward). The number of positions is stated after the number of ports, e.g. 4/3 directional valve: 4 ports, 3 switching positions.
Overlap in valves
In general : For control elements with a piston design, this states the seal length between the allocated control edges ( Figure U 1 ). in rest position, together with the size of the gap, it determin
Darcy friction factor λ
Proportionality factor between the pressure loss and dynamic pressure related to the circular cross section, when flowing through a straight of length 1 and diameter d. λ depends on the Reynolds numbe
Analogue data acquisition
The recording of measured values must be sufficiently accurate to satisfy the requirements associated with their further processing. This is particularly true of measuring in , since errors occurring
Auxiliary power (energy)
The energy required to operate electro-mechanical signal converters ( solenoids , torque motors ), electrical measuring instruments or monitoring devices (DIN 24 311).
Rodless cylinder
Cylinder design without a piston rod. As a result, these cylinders have an ideal short installation length just greater than the stroke. With the pistons not having any piston rod, both piston sides a
Digital measured value acquisition
As almost all measured variables in fluid technology change in an analogue manner, they must first be divided up into equal size sections (steps) for digital measured value acquisition. This action ca
