Hydraulic systems are power transmission systems that use pressurized fluid to generate, control, and transmit mechanical force. Based on Pascal’s principle of fluid mechanics, these systems are widely recognized for their ability to multiply force efficiently while maintaining precise control. They are essential in industries requiring high power density, smooth operation, and reliable performance under heavy loads.
Advantages of Hydraulic Systems:
High Power Density: 10x more powerful than equivalent pneumatic systems
Precise Control: Sub-millimeter positioning accuracy
Overload Protection: Automatic pressure relief
Flexible Power Transmission: Easy routing through hoses
Smooth Operation: Minimal vibration and noise
Common Applications:
Construction Equipment: Excavators, Bulldozers
Manufacturing: Presses, Injection Molding
Aerospace: Landing gear, Flight control
Automotive: Braking systems, Suspensions
Marine: Steering systems, Winches
