Analogue measured values
The majority of measuring systems are analogue. In theory they have an infinitely high accuracy that is practice is however limited by the reading accuracy (resolution) and costs. Analogue measured va
Acoustic impedance
Quotient of the complex amplitudes of acoustic pressure and acoustic flow (acc. DIN 1320). The acoustic impedance describes the acoustic behaviour of a component. For hydraulics this quotient comprise
Adaptation
Adaptation (tracking) e.g. of the gain to changes in parameters in the controlled subsystem.
External gear pump
External gear pumps are the simplest and most economical hydraulic pumps and are very suitable for simple low-pressure drives. They operate with high reliability and are also robust in operation. They
Absolute pressure
Pressure in an installation in relation to zero pressure in a completely empty space (100 % vacuum) (according to DIN 1314) (Figure A 5) .
Foreword to the online edition of the O+P-Fachlexikon "Fluidtechnik von A bis Z" (O+P technical glossary "Fluid technology from A to Z")
Hydraulic and pneumatic drive and control technology – collectively termed fluid technology – is a comparatively young specialist area of drive and automation technology that only started to become us
Lowering brake valve
Back pressure valve with the task of preventing pulling loads on cylinders or motors from causing uncontrolled lowering. For this purpose, it is pre-loaded to a higher pressure than the pressure corre
Filling pressure
Pressure that is produced after filling, e.g. on the gas side of a hydraulic accumulator or on pumps on which the suction side is pressurised.
Dynamic pressure principle for flow rate measurement
Flow rate measurement of the Bernoulli force of a flow rate on a body, e.g. a Prandtl tube ( Figure S 78 ). This is then used to measure the static pressure p 1 and the dynamic pressure p 2 and thereb
