Hydromechanical efficiency
in hydrostatic input/output elements mainly caused by friction forces — which may depend on rotation speed, pressure or velocity — and by flow losses . The resulting loss torques are M c = constant losses
Digital control with signal hold
achieved for the output variable is retained following removal or withdrawal of the reference variable — particularly following termination of the trigger signal. An opposite or different kind of trigger signal
Contact controls
Controls which link signals with each other using logic by means of contactors and relays — fitted with contacts. These days, contact controls only tend to be used for small-scale controls, i.e. those
Particle size
prior to assembly. Particle sizes can vary greatly and their distribution – in terms of quantity – is not very even either ( Figure P 4 ). For example, smaller particle sizes tend to be more common. This d [...] causing any damage. If they are only slightly smaller, they will tend to clog up the gap at a low flow velocity ( Figure P 5 a ). Particles about the same size as the gap cause the most damage, since they lead
AC solenoid
with a high level of wear at underloads. The armature must always travel its full stroke, otherwise the coil will break through. Therefore, there must be no stroke limitation - even when caused by the clogging
Efficiency of pipe
losses in pipes are caused by the in the pipe, which consists of friction losses and form-related losses — neither of which are related to pressure. As such, the efficiency of pipe can be expressed as follows:
Strain gauge
made between metal strain gauges ( thin foil strain gauge or thick film technology) - which is used the most these days - and semiconductor strain gauges . Metal strain gauges have the advantage of absolute
Hydraulic accumulator
line cross section and the difference between the (decreasing) accumulator pressure p 1 and the respective load pressure p L: This pressure difference also means a loss of energy (Figure H 25) . Tasks of [...] accumulators and spring accumulators by contrast, the fluid pressure decreases - due to the element applying the load expanding - as the spring characteristic becomes stronger ( hydropneumatic accumulator [...] to perform its allotted task. Pressure difference Δp : Difference between the accumulator pressure at the start and end of volume withdrawal. It depends on the relationship between the gas capacity applying
Lip seal
grooved ring seals with one or two lips ( Figure L 23 ), as well as roof-shaped seals and lip seals — although the latter are not used very often now. Lip seals are generally designed to be undersized or
Controller concepts
the output variables of a P-controller, I-controller and a D-controller. P-T1-controller [PT1-controller]: P-controller with P-T2-controller [PT2-controller]: P-controller with 2nd order time delay. These [...] those involving basic transfer elements ( transfer elements ) are the broadest. These include: P-controller [P-controller]: Each control difference ( control deviation ) is allocated a certain value of the [...] sum of the output variables of a P-controller and an I-controller. PD-controller [PD-controller]: The correcting variable is equal to the sum of the output variables of a P-controller and a D-controller.
