What is Power Hydraulics? Exploring the Power Team Advantage

What is Power Hydraulics? Understanding the Power Team Benefit

Power hydraulics is a technology that utilizes pressurized fluid to generate tremendous mechanical force and motion. Hydraulics is the underlying technology of most of the heavy equipment you see around you today. Hydraulics enables construction cranes, excavators, material handling, manufacturing presses, and aircraft controls to perform work that would be impossible to do without hydraulic power with accuracy and efficiency. 

The principle that underpin hydraulics is known as Pascal’s Law. Pascal’s Law states that a change in pressure applied on a confined fluid is applied equally throughout the fluid and the walls of the container. Hydraulics allow a relatively small force on a small piston to be multiplied into a larger force on an area of a larger piston. This is what enables an operator to lift heavy loads or crush or push material with very little force applied. Hydraulic systems can impart high power density - a larger amount of force from a small rigid system - which makes hydraulics more advantageous than an equivalent mechanical or electric solution.
