Program carrier (memory, media)
Elements used to accommodate programs . There is a wide range of options available. These include printed circuit boards with fixed programs, sequencers or program switching mechanisms with reprogramm
External piloted valves
For the control movements of a valve pressure fluid is drawn from another (mostly control) circuit (external pilot control). The external pilot control has, compared to the internal pilot control, the
Pump for rapid traverse
High volume low-pressure pump (mostly gear pump) for obtaining a high rapid traverse speed. It is shut down as soon as the pressure set on its idle circulation valve is reached.
Storage volume
The usable volume ΔV of a hydraulic accumulator results from the nominal volume V0 of the accumulator, the precharge pressure p0 and the upper accumulator pressure p2 and lower accumulator pressure p1
Fixed throttle
Throttle with a constant cross section. Opposite: variable throttle .
Drive power
Power drawn at the shaft of a hydraulic pump at a specific point in time or under specific load conditions. It differs from the hydraulic power by the sum of the pump losses ( volumetric efficiency, h
Switching capacity of directional valves
Dynamic switching capacity : States the pressure p and flow rate Q at which a directional valve can still be switched ( Figure S 16 ). This is particularly important in the case of directly controlled
Non-linearity
Characteristic whereby the relationship between two variables is not sufficiently linear, i.e. it does not satisfy the superposition and amplification principle. The term covers non-linear characteris
Hydrostatic drive
The terms covers not only the hydrostatic drive associated with a load, but also more generally the chain of effects involving hydraulic pump control hydraulic motor ( cylinder ), including the associ
Sources of error in measuring instruments
These include imperfections in the object measured, the measuring instrument and the measuring procedure . In addition, there can be external effects such as temperature, humidity, position, accelerat
