Sealing compatibility index (DVI)
through slight swelling, to complete dissolution of the elastomer. If the DVI of the intended hydraulic fluid is known, with the aid of diagrams it is possible to determine the expected volume change (Figure
Residual contamination
Quantity of contamination in the hydraulic fluid after filtering . This is currently mainly measured and counted using automatic counting devices. The result is a profile of contamination in accordance
Hydrokinetics
ics, the transmission of energy mainly occurs via the kinetic energy associated with the flowing fluid. This is why, compared with hydrostatics , flow velocities are high and pressures are low.
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
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
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
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 .
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
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
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.
