töörõhku
Töörõhku, a term derived from Estonian, literally translates to "work pressure" or "operating pressure." It refers to the pressure at which a system, machine, or component is designed to function under normal operating conditions. This pressure is crucial for ensuring the intended performance, efficiency, and safety of the equipment. For example, in hydraulic systems, töörõhku defines the force with which the fluid acts on the components to generate motion. In pneumatic systems, it dictates the force of the compressed air. Exceeding the töörõhku can lead to premature wear, damage, or even catastrophic failure of the equipment. Conversely, operating significantly below the designated töörõhku may result in reduced performance and inefficiency. Manufacturers specify the töörõhku for their products to guide users on proper operation and maintenance. Monitoring and maintaining the töörõhku within the specified limits is a fundamental aspect of operating many types of industrial and mechanical systems effectively and safely.
