hydromechanical
Liquid force engineering
Hydromechanical describes systems or devices that use fluid pressure to transmit mechanical force or motion.
The term combines hydraulic principles with mechanical engineering: hydromechanical fuel controls, hydromechanical transmission.
Such systems appear in aircraft, heavy machinery, and industrial equipment where precise power transfer through liquid is required.
