switching time
In general : The time between the input signal and the increase of the output signal to a given value, measured under certain conditions. Of a signal element : Time which passes after reaching a certa
Influencing the switching time
Depending on the requirements placed on the switching characteristics of a valve (e.g. to prevent switching shocks), the switching speed for the intended actuation element must be slowed down. This ge
Switching symbols
Previous term used for symbols .
Switching behaviour of devices
Change of the over time during the switching process. In addition to the design, the switching behaviour of devices depends primarily on the method of operation of the switching element . In the case
Directional valve
Fluid valve with binary behaviour, i.e. it moves from one switching position to another (e.g. Open – Closed) without adopting an intermediate position.
Circuit technology
Type of arrangement of electrical or fluid functional elements to achieve certain properties or functions.
Switching methods (electric)
In the case of the electrical activation of continuously adjustable valves , a distinction is made between two different switching types: Passive switching : The electrical input signal is directly fe
Switching methods for hydraulic pumps
Considerations on switching methods for hydraulic pumps are necessary if several pumps are used in a hydraulic system . A distinction is then made between ( Figure S 17 ): two-circuit or multi-circuit
Switching position
Working positions of a valve that are used in the case of a switching process and have a binary character, i.e. they are only "open" or "closed" based on their actuation (" black-white valves ").
