Range of operating pressure
Information defining the lowest required pressure and the highest permissible pressure for the safe operation of a device (system).
Contact seals
Sealing systems in which the sealing gap between two sealing surfaces is sealed to a greater or lesser extent by a sealing element that touches both surfaces. The related deformation is applied by scr
Bar
Unit for pressure: 1 bar = 105 N/m2 The unit "bar" is frequently used in modern fluid technology, as that way the traditional numerical values can still be used for pressures. In SI units the unit "pa
Mounting subplate
Plate on which the valve is fastened. It contains the bores necessary for the function of the valve and is connected to the pipes. There are different types: Single port mounting subplates: These are
Analogue measuring technology
Recording or acquisition of measured variables using analogue measuring instruments. The measured value is represented continuously and with the correct magnitude.
Pressure-reducing valve (pressure control valve)
Valve that keeps the (lower) outlet pressure (secondary pressure) p 2 constant even with changing inlet pressure (primary pressure) p 1 . This action is achieved by a valve cone, held open by a spring
Sampling time
Time in which a new (measured) value is output in digital measuring systems. The parameter is stated in ms.
Absolute pressure gauge
Device that indicates the absolute pressure at a measuring point in a hydraulic fluid, referred to a perfect vacuum.
Setpoint generation
Calculation of the setpoint using a computer program, into which only sampling points of the setpoint are entered. The computer then calculates the change of the setpoint over time incrementally, e.g.
Valve control with four edges
Hydraulic resistance control for an actuator with two type A hydraulic half bridges. For example, the control of a hydraulic cylinder with a dual effect with a continuously adjustable directional valv
