hydraulic machines
Pressure-driven mechanical systems
Hydraulic machines use pressurized liquid—typically oil or water—to transmit force and do mechanical work.
The category includes pumps, presses, jacks, and heavy equipment like excavators and forklifts.
Pascal's principle underlies the technology: pressure applied to confined fluid transmits equally in all directions, allowing small forces to generate large ones.
