electrohydraulic

Electric fluid power

Electrohydraulic describes systems that combine electrical controls with hydraulic power.

An electrohydraulic actuator uses electrical signals to control the movement of hydraulic fluid, which then does the heavy mechanical work—common in aircraft controls, industrial machinery, and medical equipment.

The arrangement offers precise electronic control with the force multiplication that hydraulics provide.
