hydraulic cylinders
Pressurized lifting mechanisms
Hydraulic cylinders are mechanical devices that use pressurized fluid to produce linear force and motion.
A piston inside a sealed tube moves when hydraulic fluid is pumped in, converting fluid pressure into pushing or pulling power.
They're the muscle behind heavy machinery—excavators, forklifts, presses, and aircraft landing gear all rely on them: The dump truck's hydraulic cylinders lifted the bed.
