hydraulic system
Pressure-driven machinery network
A hydraulic system uses pressurized fluid to transmit force and power machinery.
The principle is simple: fluid in an enclosed space transfers pressure equally in all directions, allowing small inputs to generate large outputs.
Hydraulic systems operate everything from car brakes to construction equipment to airplane controls.
The excavator's hydraulic system lets it lift several tons with precision.
