durch die Ventildichtungen

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial Expert opinion on a ship collision based on rudder failure involving a hydraulic valve opening which it shouldn't have
See http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/physics/5249291-... for details

Im Grunde kann nur die Erdbeschleunigung mit einem bestimmten Drehmoment auf das Ventil einwirken, um den Ventilhebel unter Überwindung der Dämpfung/Reibung insbesondere ***durch die Ventildichtungen*** zu bewegen;

Basically, only the gravitational acceleration can act upon the valve with a particular torque, so as to move the valve lever, overcoming??? the shock absorption???/friction in the process, in particular [via???] the valve seals;

Bei einem intakten Ventil genügt die Erdbeschleunigung allein indes nicht, um das Ventil zu öffnen.
Zusätzlich ist ein weiterer Beschleunigungsanteil, der auf den fraglichen Ventilhebel wirkt, zu berücksichtigen - namentlich die Schiffsschwingungen.
Dieser Beschleunigungsanteil muss groß genug sein, um die Reibung/Dämpfung des Ventils zu überwinden und also den Ventilhebel sich bewegen zu lassen;

Note from asker:
The work on this one is pretty hard so I lost the overview for a while. Thanks for putting me back on track. Sometimes it is the simple things in life that are diffacult to see.
