A basic hydraulic system is a type of drive technology that uses fluid to move energy from a motor to an actuator in industrial hydraulics. An example of an actuator is a hydraulic cylinder. These are used primarily where high power density is required or when there are rapid changes to load requirements, catering to the requirements of industrial and heavy-duty mobile equipment.
In basic hydraulics, there are different types of hydraulic systems, each containing the same main components and all designed to work the same way. There are 5 main components.
Hydraulic systems are used in industrial machinery in multiple applications across a range of industries. A few of the major examples are:
Some mining and construction equipment that use these include:
A basic hydraulic system consists of:
In addition to these five components, hydraulic piping and filters are also primary components in hydraulic machines.
