Figure la shows the basic operating principle of the mechanical lever. The ratio of the lengths of the lever on each side of the fulcrum determines the multiplication. Principle of the hydraulic lever ...

Efficiency is a key design criteria for almost all components and systems on a piece of heavy-duty equipment—as well as for the machine itself. Hydraulics are one of the many areas in which ...

Hydraulic cylinders convert fluid pressure and flow into force and linear movement and are used in a wide variety of applications and industries. They are complex devices incorporating a wide range of ...

Hydraulic door closers may seem like small components but they play a key role in comfort, safety and durability. By using controlled resistance and spring balance, they ensure that doors close ...

Seals play an important role in hydraulic cylinders—they contain the fluid and prevent the leakage of fluid between components. They fall into two main categories: dynamic and static. Dynamic seals ...
