Sampling time
Time in which a new (measured) value is output in digital measuring systems. The parameter is stated in ms.
Response pressure
Pressure that triggers a function or actuates an individual element (DIN 24 312 and DIN 3320 Part 1).
Port
End of a flow path in a device to which pipes for the transport of the hydraulic fluid to or from the device can be connected. As the type of port has a major effect on how the installation is assembl
Port cross-section
Smallest cross-section in the port bore on a device.
Mounting subplate
Plate on which the valve is fastened. It contains the bores necessary for the function of the valve and is connected to the pipes. There are different types: Single port mounting subplates: These are
Mounting dimensions (hole patterns)
To facilitate the interchangeability of valves from different manufacturers, port hole patterns are internationally standardised, i.e. the arrangement of the outlet bores on a valve that must match th
Methods of valve installation
There are four basic types of valve installation: Pipe installation in which the valves are "suspended" in the pipe. This type is rarely used in hydraulics these days. Manifold mounting in which the v
Intake characteristic
Characterises the varying capability of displacement pumps to draw the required flow rate from a tank. Apart from the type of pump, the intake characteristic is determined by the magnitude of the vacu
Intake height
Maximum permissible distance between oil level and intake port on the pump. If it is exceeded, the pump will not be completely filled, i.e. air bubble cavitation will occur. The intake height is depen
