pilottryck
Pilottryck refers to the pressure in a pilot line used to actuate a pilot valve that controls a larger main valve in hydraulic or pneumatic systems. It functions as a control pressure rather than the load-bearing pressure of the system.
In a pilot-operated valve arrangement, the pilot valve responds to the pilot pressure. When the pilot pressure
Measurement and ranges vary with the application. Pilot pressure is typically measured in bar or psi on
Applications are widespread in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including pilot-operated relief valves, directional control valves, hydraulic
Considerations include the potential for line leaks, contamination, and pressure spikes in the pilot circuit. Proper
