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 "pascal"
Viscosity/temperature characteristic
The viscosity of a Newtonian fluid changes as a factor of the temperature: For hydraulic fluids it decreases rapidly as the temperature rises and at low temperatures it approaches the pour point ( Figure
Neutralisation number
as a good indicator (in terms of a measure) for the degree of ageing associated with a hydraulic fluid .
Internally piloted valves
For the control movements of a pilot-controlled valve the necessary pressure fluid is drawn from the same circuit. For this reason a separate control oil circuit is not necessary. As a rule, however, the
Separate circuit hydraulic
elements, if malfunctions are to be expected due to mutual interaction. Other hydraulic systems: fluid power systems with main pipe , centralised hydraulic oil supply , single circuit system .
Clogging behaviour of orifices
Orifices have different tendencies to accumulate contaminations in the pressure fluid . This changes the flow characteristics, and the orifice may become completely clogged under certain circumstances
Acoustic decoupling measures
to downstream components that are capable of oscillating (passive sound generators, e.g. hydraulic fluid containers). They constitute a key component of secondary measures for reducing noise. A distinction
Power losses
internal and external leakage losses and compression losses , losses resulting from the flow of the fluid (losses due to changes in cross section or direction, churning losses, friction losses), mechanical
Resonance
amplifies the oscillation amplitude, which may lead to self-destruction, even at lower power. In fluid technology, the resonance is primarily of importance for systems with feedback () and in the case
Oil hydraulics
Area of hydraulics which works with mineral oil or oil-like hydraulic fluids whose key characteristics are sufficient viscosity coupled with good lubricating performance. All devices used in oil hydraulics
