Electrical
Motors that operate on either AC or DC power.
What is a Universal Motor?
Manage the flow rate of hydraulic fluid.
What is a Flow Control Valve?
A control device that uses electromagnetism to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion.
What is a Solenoid?
A condition that occurs when vapor bubbles form at the suction side of a circulation pump, are drawn in by the pump, and then collapse as the hydraulic fluid is pressurized through the pump, creating noise and potentially damaging internal components.
What is Cavitation?
Represents the number of separate circuits a switch can control.
What is a Pole?
A component or device used to convert AC current into pulsating DC current?
What is a Rectifier?
Used to control the direction of fluid flow by changing the spool position, often categorized by the number of ports (like 3-way or 4-way) and positions (like 2-position or 3-position).
What is a Directional Control Valve (DCV)?
Independent devices that either allow electric current to flow or prevent it from flowing through them.
What are Discrete Input Devices?
Cylinder of motors that use the fluid power to create mechanical motion.
What is an Actuator?
Represents the number of different positions a switch can be in for each pole.
What is a Throw?
A fast-triggering semiconductor device that is used as a switch. Used to control the speed of a motor.
What is a Thyristor?
Regulate the pressure within a hydraulic system, including relief valves, reducing valves, and sequence valves.
What is a Pressure Control Valve?
Similar to limit switches, detect the presence of objects.
What are Proximity Sensors?
Seals that are used when there is motion between surfaces. They are usually made of more durable material and may require more lubrication to avoid tearing and wear from the movement they experience.
What is a Dynamic Seal?
A basic on/off switch with one pole and one throw.
What is a SPST Switch?
Single Pole Single Throw
Three-junction semiconductor device that remains open until a signal on the gate switches it on, allowing current to flow in one direction.
What is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier? (SCR)
Represent the internal pathways within the valve that control the direction of fluid flow.
What is a Way?
Detect the presence of nearby metallic objects by measuring changes in magnetic fields.
What are Inductive Sensors?
__________ shifts within the valve, directing fluid flow to the various valve ports.
What is a Spool?
A switch with one pole but can connect to two different circuits.
What is a SPDT Switch?
Single Pole Double Throw
Allows current to flow in either direction. This controls the full AC wave, while the SCR controls only half.
What is a Triac?
An electrically operated valve that precisely controls the flow of hydraulic fluid to an actuator by using an electrical signal to regulate the valve's spool position.
What is a Servo Valve?
NOT,AND,OR,NAND,NOR,XOR, and XNOR
What are the 7 types of logic gates?
Component with numerous ports, or ways, to which valves and stacks of valves can the attached to form circuits and functions.
What is a Manifold?
A switch with two poles, each with only one possible connection.
What is a DPST Switch?
Double Pole Single Throw
