nonhydraulic
Not liquid-powered machinery
Nonhydraulic describes machinery, systems, or processes that don't use pressurized fluid to transmit force.
The term typically appears in technical contexts where hydraulic systems are the norm: nonhydraulic brakes, nonhydraulic fracturing methods.
A nonhydraulic alternative might use mechanical, pneumatic, or electrical power instead.
