Axial Piston: Type of design for hydraulic motors and pumps in which the pistons are arranged
parallel with the spindle (input or output shaft) .
Bypass Valve: A valve whose primary function is to open a path for the fluid to bypass the motor
or pump . Also referred to occasionally as the freewheel valve or dump valve .
Case Drain Line (Return Line): A line returning fluid from the component housing to the reser-
voir .
Cavitation: A concentrated gaseous condition within the fluid causing the rapid implosion of a
gaseous bubble .
Center Section: A device which acts as the valve body and manifold of the transmission .
Charge Pump: A device which supplies replenishing fluid to the fluid power system (closed
loop) .
Charge Pressure: The pressure at which replenishing fluid is forced into a fluid power system.
Charge Relief Valve: A pressure control valve whose primary function is to limit pressure in the
charge circuit .
Check Valve: A valve whose primary function is to restrict flow in one direction.
Closed Loop: A sealed and uninterrupted circulating path for fluid flow from the pump to the
motor and back .
Decay Rate: The ratio of pressure decay over time .
End Cap: See “Center Section.”
Entrained Air: A mechanically generated mixture of air bubbles having a tendency to separate
from the liquid phase .
Gerotor: A formed rotor set operating about an eccentric that provides a fixed displacement for
pumps or motors .
Hydraulic Motor: A device which converts hydraulic fluid power into mechanical force and mo-
tion by transfer of flow under pressure.
Hydraulic Pump: A device which converts mechanical force and motion into hydraulic fluid power
by producing flow.
Hydrostatic Pump: See “Hydraulic Pump.”
Hydrostatic Transaxle: A multi component assembly including a gear case and a hydrostati-
transmission .
Hydrostatic Transmission: The combination of a hydraulic pump and motor in one housing to
form a device for the control and transfer of power .
Inlet Line: A supply line to the pump .
