Resonance angular frequency
Refers to the frequency of a coupled system, in which the external periodic excitation in the system brings about the maximum amplitudes, i.e. where the exciter amplitude is most amplified.
Quantisation
Conversion of an analogue variable into a discrete representation. In general, therefore, this means quantising an amplitude, with the amplitude area divided into smaller subsections. The process is k
Quantisation error
Error, which arises when quantising analogue sizes, as only a limited resolution is possible, which causes a systematic error . It is equal to half of the change of the input voltage needed to change
Quad-ring
Toroidal ring made of elastic materials, with an almost square cross-section ( Figure Q 1 ).
Square (root) flow equation
Describes the flow rate-pressure characteristic of a concentric flow resistance ( orifice , Bernoulli's principle). Does not apply for laminar flow resistance (e.g. capillary tube ).
Point control
Allows moving to a certain point on the level, without needing to define a functional relationship along the movement path in the individual path axes. The movements may be performed simultaneously or
Pump adjustment
Adjustments of positive displacement machines.
Pump idle circulation valve
Valve that switches the pump to a pressure-free circulation as soon as its flow rate is no longer needed in the circuit. Special 2/2 directional valves or pressure valves are suitable for use as a shu
