Hydraulic technology uses liquids, typically oil or water, to transmit power and control machinery. It operates on the principle of Pascal's Law, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. This technology is widely used in various applications, including construction equipment, automotive systems, and industrial machinery. Hydraulic systems consist of components such as pumps, cylinders, and valves that work together to create movement and force. For example, hydraulic excavators utilize hydraulic technology to lift heavy loads and perform digging tasks efficiently. This technology is essential for enhancing productivity and safety in many industries.
