Impulse actuation of valves
control impulse. Here, the switching time depends on whether direct or indirect actuation is involved, with switching being far shorter for the latter (a few ms). The impulse duration at the input should last
Safety of a system
are made, namely: "special information on technical values and measures, compliance with which – in the interaction with other technical measures –– should ensure that by keeping within the tolerable risk [...] safety measures and strictly comply with his obligations in terms of the regulations. In hydraulic systems : Due to the compressibility of the medium in connection with the high pressure, this means that [...] safety measures also serve to increase reliability ( Figure S 55 ). In this context, in accordance with DIN 31 004 "Safety is a situation, in which the residual risk of a failure is smaller than the tolerable
Solubility of gas in a hydraulic fluid
characteristic of dissolving certain amounts of gases. In mineral oil this ability increases linearly with pressure up to approx. 300 bar. Dalton's law states: V G = dissolved gas volume at the reference pressure [...] absolute pressure p o = reference pressure (atmospheric pressure). The saturation state characterised with this law does not of course always have to be reached. At atmospheric pressure 1 l of oil contains
Indirect actuation
devices (Figure I 5 a) . Another advantage is the more favourable p/Q behaviour associated with pressure valves , with pressure increasing more gradually as the flow increases (b) ( pilot actuation ). In addition
Open loop control system
technology this is often a cylinder with a connected load, the second subsystem is the immediately upstream control device, for example a proportional directional valve with its electronic activation amplifier
Rodless cylinder
As a result, these cylinders have an ideal short installation length just greater than the stroke. With the pistons not having any piston rod, both piston sides are the same size, making it easy to insert [...] whereby a slotted cylinder tube is sealed using steel sealing bands (Figure K 21 c) . The cylinder with actuating band or cable (a and b) is based on closed cylinders, which gives it a somewhat thicker
Integrated control
Increasingly, individual devices are tending to feature internal with a view to preserving or improving certain characteristics. Typically with integrated controls, the controlled variable tends be an auxiliary
Non-linear signal transmitter
A transfer element is associated with non-linear behaviour if the relationship between the output and input signal cannot be described by a linear differential equation. Non-linear signal transmitters
Error threshold
to be indicated or so that in redundant systems the system switches over to the redundant channel (with standby redundancy). On the other hand there is a lower limit to differentiate from the often unavoidable
Controller for damping (high pass filter)
assembly can operate mechano-hydraulically (e.g. hydraulic accumulator or as a spring-loaded piston, each with throttle ) or electro-mechanically as a differential pressure sensor (Figure D 7) .
