Erosion wear
Material removal that occurs in hydraulic devices at the points where the hydraulic fluid impacts at high speed. Erosion wear comprises cavitation erosion and particle jet erosion and is material dependent
Bleed valve (Hy), exhaust valve (PN)
Device for removing undissolved air (gas) that may be carried in the hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic system . The valve must be fitted at the highest point in the system and can trigger automatically or
Self-tuning controllers
The self-tuning of controllers is intended to accelerate difficult and arduous initial settings of fluid technological regulations and thereby reduce a significant disadvantage compared with electrical
Return line
Line to feed the hydraulic fluid back to the container after the energy has been transferred. As with the Return line filter it must be designed according to the largest flow rate and not according to
Drag flow
Flow rate , which builds up beneath a seal or guide ring as the fluid sticks on the moved metal surface by adhesion. The drag flow is responsible for the drag flow pressure , but also for leaks in intact
Control devices
Devices, which control a power flow. In fluid technology these are the valves, which influence the flow rate in terms of direction ( directional valves ), size ( flow valves ) and pressure ( pressure valves
External piloted valves
For the control movements of a valve pressure fluid is drawn from another (mostly control) circuit (external pilot control). The external pilot control has, compared to the internal pilot control, the
Pressure ratings
DIN 24 312 and DIN 2401 contain a summary of the pressure ratings used in the area of fluid technology as well as the preferred pressure values in this area. The ratings should be used, as far as possible
Fatigue strength
Fluid devices and systems are always given a load from zero to the maximum, i.e. they are subject to a pulsating load. Therefore, either the fatigue strength under fluctuating stress or the fatigue limit
Polymer materials
molecular units (blocks). Their number determines the level of polymerisation. The materials used in fluid technology in terms of elastic materials for seals such as rubber, thermoplastic elastomers and t
