Solubility of gas in a hydraulic fluid
Fluids have the characteristic of dissolving certain amounts of gases. In mineral oil this ability increases linearly with pressure up to approx. 300 bar. Dalton's law states: V G = dissolved gas volu
Gas filling pressure
Gas pressure that is applied to a fluid vessel with or without separator. On hydraulic accumulators the gas filling pressure corresponds to the precharge pressure. Example: hydropneumatic accumulator
Hydropneumatic accumulator
Hydraulic accumulator that uses a gas as the medium for applying a load to the hydraulic fluid (air for accumulators for water hydraulics , nitrogen for oil accumulators). As a consequence of the gas

5-way valve
Directional valve with a second tank connection. This design was very popular for a long time, as on the one hand it was possible to place different loads on the two connections and on the other hand
5-chamber valve
Directional valve with five annular channels in the housing for ports A, B, P and T. The spring chambers F 1 and F 2 remain outside the control area of the valve and can have a dedicated drain port (F
Pre-fill valve
Piloted check valve that is used to fill the cylinder chamber behind a piston moving rapidly under its own weight or with a piston for rapid traverse with unpressurised oil from the tank. The high vel
