Power loss
Sum of losses arising in a fluid system. It is comprised of the pressure losses caused by mechanical and hydraulic friction and flow losses , leakage losses , throttle losses , which generally constitute
Sliding friction
that is produced when two surfaces rub against each other. Friction can vary very significantly in fluid technology, depending on Which seal material is used, Which seal shape is used, The magnitude of the
Valve
Device used to control or the output of the fluid by influencing the start, stop and direction, as well as the pressure and/or flow rate of the pressure fluid acting in the system ( Figure V 3 ). Valves
Hydrostatics
with the generation and transmission of energy and signals via the static pressure associated with a fluid. This is why, compared with hydrokinetics , the pressure ranges are relatively high and the flow
Pressure loss in lines (laminar)
the length lp and the diameter dp of the line as well as from the density ρ and the speed of the fluid vf. Calculate the pressure loss in lines directly and easily in our hydraulic calculator .
NBR
rubber, including radial and shaft seal rings and O-rings. Not suitable for fire-resistant hydraulic fluids from the HFD group. Permissible temperature range -30°C to 100°C. Elastomers
Constant force characteristic
motor in series connection, power-controlled pump, compressed air cylinder (connection behaviour of fluid drives). Opposite: position dependent locking , where it is possible to have an output variable which
Cylinder efficiency
Ratio of the mechanical output power P a to the fluid input power P e: It is comprised of the volumetric efficiency η 2vol, which is 100% in the case of non-leaking seals : and the hydromechanical efficiency
Protective filters
circuits or in the control oil supply of pilot stages. Protective filters do not clean the pressure fluid and therefore their filter unit (β-value) should be more coarse than cleaning filters.
Overload protection
Overload protection helps secure the system against excessive operating pressures. In fluid technology, the overload protection is provided by the working method of the pressure-limiting valve, which starts
