Hydraulic applications rely upon fluid power or pressurized fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. These systems are capable of producing high power and high forces in small volumes and have ...

Discover the most common hydraulic pump failures, their causes, and how to prevent them. Keep your machinery running smoothly ...

New types of hose handle tougher pressure, temperature, and environmental demands. • New types of hydraulic hose are more compact and flexible than standard designs. • High-temperature versions help ...

Typical, medium-duty, hydraulic brake system with front discs (red circuit) and rear drums (green circuit). Boost, or assist (blue circuit), is provided by an engine-driven pump, although the power ...

• Quick-acting valves and mechanical impact can generate hydraulic shock waves. • Shock and pulsating flow cause noise and can lead to premature system failure. • In-line shock suppressors smooth out ...

Hydraulic jacks and screw jacks serve the same basic purpose, allowing mechanics to lift and support heavy loads in the shop. That said, there are some pretty major differences in how they work, the ...
