Relative signal amplitude
Ratio of the magnitude of the signal considered to the magnitude of the nominal signal (max. signal). For the stability of a closed loop control system (e.g. closed loop position control system ) the
External gear pump
Pump with two or more gear wheels with teeth on the outside that rotate engaged in each other. As a result the hydraulic fluid is pressed out of the gaps between the teeth on the outlet side, while th
Switch-off pressure
Pressure at which a device or an installation is switched off (DIN 24 312).
Down time
Time from the "off" switching command to the "on" switching command (as a rule the same as the standstill time).
Overshoot time
Time span that starts when the value for the controlled variable after a step in the disturbance variable or the reference variable leaves a pre-defined tolerance range and that ends when it enters th
Utilisation factor
Measure for the usage of a device (e.g. a pump) during a working cycle. The basis for determining this parameter is the sequence diagram for the installation. The utilisation factor plays a role in th
Baud
Measure for the transmission speed for data: 1 baud = 1 bit/s. Named after the French engineer Jean Marie Baudot (1845—1903). data rate .
Basic
“Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code”. An easy to learn programming language in which all variables are valid in the entire program, unlike Pascal. However, this aspect makes writing clear
Bar
Unit for pressure: 1 bar = 105 N/m2 The unit "bar" is frequently used in modern fluid technology, as that way the traditional numerical values can still be used for pressures. In SI units the unit "pa
