A hydraulic cylinder (sometimes also called a hydraulic actuator or hydraulic ram) is a mechanical actuator that is used to give a linear force through a linear stroke. It has many applications, notably in engineering vehicles.
How Hydraulic Cylinders Operate
Hydraulic cylinders (hydraulic rams) get their power from pressurized hydraulic fluid, normally hydraulic oil. The hydraulic cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, in which a piston connected to a piston rod moves back and fort...
Hydraulic Motors – Technical Library
A hydraulic motor (or hydraulic actuator) is used to convert the kinetic or potential energy (hydraulic pressure and flow) of a fluid (hydraulic oil) into mechanical energy and rotation, the hydraulic motor being the rotary counterpart to the hydraulic cylinder.
Hydraulic motors, hydraulic pumps and hydraulic cylinders can be combined together into hydraulic drive systems. When one or more hydraulic pump is coupled to one or more hydraulic motor, a h...
