Position-dependent locking process
Refers to a configuration whereby the output variable (e.g. velocity) is not dependent on the load, but only on the target value. A distinction is made between: exact position-dependent locking proces
Position feedback
Determination of the ongoing position change of a functional element on an axis (e.g. the piston of a cylinder or valve ) and feedback for processing in a closed circuit position control system . The
Step diagram control
Form of process-dependent workflow control, in which the switching conditions depend only on position-dependent signals of the controlled system (according to DIN 19 237).
Position measurement process
A distinction is made between analogue and digital processes ( Figure W 6 ). In analogue position measurement processes, the resistance position measurement (with potentiometer) is commonly used for l
Overload protection
Overload protection helps secure the system against excessive operating pressures. In fluid technology, the overload protection is provided by the working method of the pressure-limiting valve, which
Law of superposition
The law of superposition states: If an input variable (xe1) brings about an output variable (xa1) and also another input variable (xe2) brings about an output variable (xa2), therefore: if the law of
Transient response
Describes the change of an over time when adding characteristic curves of the input signal (DIN 19 226) ( Figure U 5 ). The step function is a characteristic change of the input signal . . The or is t
Transition piece
Part with internal and external thread to connect two with different diameters.
Over-excitation
To reduce the switching time (or to increase the stroke force) in the case of DC solenoids, the operating voltage is increased up to a factor of two. To prevent damage to the solenoid, however, the sw
Overpressure
Difference between an absolute pressure p abs and the respective absolute atmospheric pressure p amb ( Figure U 3 ). The overpressure takes on a positive value if the absolute pressure is greater than
