Multi-media connector
Arrangement whereby a greater number of pipes for hydraulics, pneumatics and/or electrics can be connected or disconnected in one go ( Figure M 31 ). It must be set up in a way that allows a high numb
Mobile hydraulics
There are special boundary conditions for mobile machines (excavators, cranes, loaders, etc.). These conditions are due in part to the mobility, and in part to the tasks and environmental conditions.
Performance/weight ratio
Relationship between the weight of a system/input or output element and the power it transmits or provides. Given the very high force density , hydrostatic systems are much better than electric ones i
Open loop
"Open loop"; because the term "control" applies to both ordinary controls and , the words "open loop" is added to designate an ordinary control (not involving feedback). Opposite: closed loop .
Combined piston
Disc-shaped piston with a vulcanised double pot seal or the like and combining the functions of a piston, piston guide and seal (Figure K 24) .
Cavitation
Cavitation refers to the formation of cavities in fluids. Cavities start to from when the local static pressure within a fluid falls below a critical value. This critical value is generally about as h
Inductive pressure sensors
1. "Genuine" inductive pressure sensors operate in accordance with the principle of inductive position measurement whereby the core of the coil is connected to a diaphragm whose deflection it measures
Straight pipe fitting
Fitting for the connection of two pipes on which both port openings lie on one axis.
Axial gap compensation on gear pumps (so-called gap compensation)
Gear pumps have two sliding-contact areas (sealing areas): at the periphery as well as the two sides of the gear wheels, i.e. in the axial direction. The pressure-controlled leakage that occurs here c
