Rise time
Time that a parameter requires to increase from a specific lower value to a specific higher value.
Intake characteristic
Characterises the varying capability of displacement pumps to draw the required flow rate from a tank. Apart from the type of pump, the intake characteristic is determined by the magnitude of the vacu
Amplitude modulation
The amplitude of a high frequency carrier frequency is modulated with a low frequency oscillating signal. Example: inductive position measurement in which the high frequency from an oscillator is modu
Pressure actuation
Feature that actuates the device on a pressure change in the control line. The actuation can be direct or indirect. Direct pressure actuation occurs if the hydraulic pressure acts directly on the actu
External power split
Gearboxes with an external power split comprise a mechanical summation gearbox (planetary gearbox) in the direct flow of power and an adjustable gearbox (hydrostatic transmission) in the parallel circ
Hydraulic axis
Complete working system for positioning tasks, consisting of a hydraulic cylinder with integrated control (high response proportional) valves and an integrated position measurement system (Figure H 13
Hydraulic drive systems
A hydraulic system in principle comprises the generative section in which the hydraulic energy is in general produced by hydraulic pumps, the conducting section, comprising and fluid power control dev
Transmitter (unit transducer)
Measuring arrangement, in which a sensor is integrated in a device with a standard electrical with zero and end point comparison elements, which can be adjusted externally and issues a standard output
Tachogenerator
Device used to measure angular rotation speed. Tachogenerators can work as DC or AC generators. DC generator : The most commonly used process, in which a rotor turns in a magnetic field. The direct cu
Jet contraction
Contraction A ‘1 of a flow rate when entering into a cross-section constriction. It arises when the wall of cross-section A 1 is removed ( Figure S 98 ). The jet contraction becomes smaller as the tra
