Basic Hydraulics At Work |
|
| |
Hydraulics is based on a very simple fact of nature - you cannot compress a liquid. Now if you put that liquid into a sealed system and push on it at one end, that pressure is transmitted through the liquid (confined/sealed vessel) to the other end of the system. The pressure is not diminished. |

Hydraulic Principles |
|
| |
Pressure is stress that is exerted uniformly (or the same way) in all directions. Pressure is measured in units of force applied per unit of area.

Cylinder Terminology |
|
| |
Force exerted on a square inch of area of a confined liquid is transmitted at every angle to every square inch of area of the interior of the vessel. |

Basic Physics |

| |
Basic physics tells us that we can trade off force for distance in all mechanical systems. In a hydraulic system, we do this by changing the relative size of the pistons at each end of the system. Click on the link above for complete details.
