Hydraulic power is a form of energy that uses pressurized liquid to perform work. It operates on the principle that liquids are incompressible, allowing them to transmit force efficiently. Common applications include machinery, construction equipment, and automotive systems, where hydraulic systems can lift heavy loads or control movement. In a hydraulic system, a pump moves fluid through pipes to various components, such as cylinders or motors. The pressure generated by the fluid creates force, enabling tasks like lifting, pushing, or rotating. This technology is widely used in industries like manufacturing and transportation for its effectiveness and reliability.
