Rõhujagajad

Rõhujagajad, meaning pressure dividers or pressure regulators in Estonian, are devices used to control and maintain a specific pressure within a system. They are commonly found in pneumatic and hydraulic systems where precise pressure management is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of machinery.

The primary function of a rõhujagaja is to reduce a higher inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. This is achieved through various internal mechanisms, often involving a diaphragm, spring, and valve system. When the system pressure changes, the diaphragm senses the variation and adjusts the valve opening accordingly, thereby regulating the flow of the fluid (air or liquid) and maintaining the desired output pressure.

These devices play a vital role in protecting sensitive components from over-pressurization, ensuring consistent performance of actuators and tools, and enabling the fine-tuning of system operations. Different types of rõhujagajad exist, varying in their complexity, pressure ranges, flow rates, and features such as pressure relief or pressure sensing capabilities. Their selection depends heavily on the specific application requirements and the characteristics of the fluid being controlled. Proper installation and maintenance of rõhujagajad are essential for the longevity and reliability of the entire system.
