A hydraulic system is a technology that uses liquid under pressure to perform work. It operates on the principle that when a force is applied to a confined fluid, it is transmitted equally in all directions. This allows machines like excavators and forklifts to lift heavy loads with relatively little effort, making them essential in construction and manufacturing.
In a hydraulic system, components such as pumps, cylinders, and valves work together to control the flow and pressure of the fluid. The fluid, often oil, is stored in a reservoir and moved through pipes to create motion. This efficient use of force makes hydraulic systems powerful and versatile in various applications.
