Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic systems use pressurized fluids, usually oil or water, to transfer force and energy. When a user applies force to a small piston, it creates pressure that is transmitted through the fluid to move a larger piston, amplifying the force. This system allows for precise control of heavy machinery, like cranes or brakes, by multiplying input force efficiently. Hydraulic systems are valued for their power, reliability, and ability to operate smoothly over long distances or with complex movements, making them essential in construction, manufacturing, and transportation applications.
