  • Demystifying Hydraulic Systems: A Beginner's Guide

    At its core, a hydraulic system is a mechanical arrangement that uses liquid under pressure to generate force and motion. Unlike electric or pneumatic systems, which use electricity or air, hydraulic systems rely on fluids—typically oil or water—to transmit power. The incompressible nature of liquids makes hydraulic systems highly efficient for handling heavy loads with precision and control.
