Measurement data processing
Section of a measuring device where what is received from the sensors in terms of signals is prepared, processed and output (displayed). The type and accuracy of measurement data processing must be ta
Access time
Time, which passes from the issue of an order until information contained in a memory is localised or read off. For example, in the case of magnetic plates, it is between 20 and 100 ms and considerabl
Four-way valve
Valve with four controlled ports. For directional valves: Inlet, cylinder side A and B, outlet.
Noise level W
The acoustic power emitted by an oscillating element (acoustic radiator) as sound in air. It cannot be measured directly. Instead, it is calculated using the sound pressure or noise intensity and the
SAE flange
In hydraulics, four-hole flanges with the connection pattern standardised in SAE j 518 ( Figure S 1 ) are the most commonly used flange connections . The American SAE norm specifies two pressure stage
Roller lever
A lever with a roller, which transfers a switching movement to the element to be moved.
Test bench
System to review the correct functioning and the operational safety of the static and dynamic behaviour, as well as the correct functioning of technical devices and assemblies.
Position measurement by potentiometer
Position measurement by potentiometer is based on changes in the resistance in an electrical conductor as a function of its length ( Figure P 14 ). These days, position measurement by potentiometer is
Proximity switch
Switch which switches when an object is approached or left. Either inductive devices which can trigger at distances of up to 25 m are used for this purpose, or capacitive devices effective at distance
