Single acting cylinder
Cylinder in which the fluid pressure for the forward stroke only acts in one and the same direction ( ISO 1219-1 ). The piston can be returned by a spring, the inherent weight of the piston or external
Pipe inductance
friction, to change the flow rate inside a pipe. It is based on the mass inertia associated with the fluid. The following equation can be written for the change in flow rate dQ/dt, based on a given pressure
Mechanical feedback
Mechanical connection between the moving parts of a fluid power control device and the moving part of the device to be controlled for the purpose of . Example: Two stage servo valve with flapper-nozzle
Hagen-Poiseuille's law
the compressive force will be balanced out by the opposing force from the internal friction of the fluid resulting from its viscosity . The relationship between flow rate and pressure difference is a linear
Nominal viscosity
Viscosity of a hydraulic fluid at a defined temperature. This used to be +50°C according to DIN 51 502 and has been +40°C for a number of years now according to ISO 3448 (DIN 51 519). It is essential therefore
Micro-emulsion
HWBF hydraulic fluid where any elements to be mixed into the medium in order, for example, to improve lubricity and increase corrosion protection are added as very small droplets. Micro-emulsions are
Comparability
The more dependent one becomes on determining parameters of fluid devices and systems through trial runs, the more important it is that these results are comparable. Otherwise, the different products will
Swelling of sealants
Increasing the volume of an elastomer seal through the action of the hydraulic fluid. The height of the swelling is different, depending on the seal materials . For example, polyamide swells strongly in
Equivalent bulk modulus
Takes into account along with the compressibility of the pressure fluid also the elasticity of the surrounding components as well as the connection line between the valve and . The equivalent bulk modulus
Servo technology
that convert a weak input signal into a greatly amplified, proportional (power amplification). In fluid technology : Servo technology stands for an area that uses a power amplifier and a feedback (i.e.
