Hydraulic+Systems



A hydraulic system uses liquids pass pressure in a confined liquid. By definition, "a hydraulic system multiplies force by applying the force to a small surface area.**"** (Jones 93). It is the increase that is transmitted to another part of the confined fluid, which pushes on the largest surface area (Jones).

Below is a video about the introduction to the hydraulic system.

"Pascal's law is the basis of hydraulic drive systems. As the pressure in the system is the same, the force that the fluid gives to the surroundings is therefore equal to the x area." (Hydraulic drive system 1). It happens in a way, that the small piston feels a small force and the large pistons feels a large force. The same goes for a hydraulic pump with a small swept volume, that asks for a small torque, combined with a hydraulic motor with a large sweptvolume, that gives a large torque. That makes it possible for a transmission with a ceratin ratio to be built(Hydrualic system drive). (Hydraulic drive system)

"Hydraulic cylenders (also called linear hydraulic motors) are mechanical actuators that are used to give alinear stroke." (Hydraulic drive system). Hydraulic cylenders push and pull forces of more than 9,000 metic tons. Hydraulic cyclenders involve water and the amount of pressure that is in use. Below is a picture of the hydraulic cyclender it shows the water and the pressure than is being used. ("santecindia.com")



" The hydraulic motor is the rotary counterpart of the hydraulic cylender." (Hydraulic drive system). It also gives pressure on both sides of the motor.
