Hysteresis
Biggest difference for the same when travelling across the full signal range (i.e. forwards and backwards). Hysteresis values are expressed as a percentage of the max. signal value (Figure H 31) . Wit
Hydrostatic machines
Collective term for pumps and motors which operate in accordance with the laws of hydrostatics (see also hydrostatic displacement machines).
Hydraulic cylinder
Cylinder designed to be used with hydraulic fluids at generally higher pressures (of around 100 bar and above). Given the relatively low compressibility of the fluid and the low weight of a piston, hy
Hydraulic intensifier
Switching system which makes it possible to operate a differential cylinder in a network with impressed pressure ( constant pressure network ) without experiencing pressure losses due to throttles, an
Hydrostatic traction drive
Hydrostatic transmission for a stepless vehicle drive which generally operates in a closed circuit with primary control (pump control) or primary and secondary control (pump and motor control). If a s
Hydrostatic bearing
Arrangement whereby a mechanical pressure is compensated for by an opposing hydraulic pressure created by a separate power pack (Figure H 27) . The hydrostatic bearing is generally used when the inten
Hydrostatic relief
Arrangement whereby a mechanical pressure is largely compensated for by an opposing hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic pressure is generally removed from the system in such cases. Example: hydrostatica
Hydrostatics
Branch of hydraulics . Concerned with the generation and transmission of energy and signals via the static pressure associated with a fluid. This is why, compared with hydrokinetics , the pressure ran
Hydraulic accumulator
Accumulator which stores a fluid under pressure and is therefore able to release hydraulic energy. Pressurisation is mainly based on gas pressure (air, nitrogen, " hydropneumatic accumulator ") and, m
Hydraulic pump
Device for converting mechanical energy (torque M, rotation speed n) into hydraulic energy (flow rate Q, pressure p). Displacement pumps are used in hydrostatic applications for this purpose. A flow r
