Signal path
Graphical representation of the transfer of a signal between two or more functional elements or operating materials (DIN 40 719 T 61).
Open-centre position
In the case of three-directional valves, in the centre position, all ports can be connected to one another –– and therefore with the workflow (requires negative overlap).
Closing pressure
Response pressure to close a device under defined conditions (DIN 24 312).
