hydraulic arm

Pressure-driven mechanical appendage

A hydraulic arm is a mechanical limb that moves using pressurized fluid, typically oil pushed through cylinders to extend or retract segments.

Found on excavators, backhoes, and robotic equipment, hydraulic arms provide powerful, precise movement for lifting, digging, and manipulating heavy objects: The hydraulic arm on the crane swung the beam into place.
