Hydraulics
It is a technology that uses a liquid or fluid as a mode of transmission of the energy necessary to move or operate a machine or mechanism. This fluid can be water or oil.
Hydraulics is related to fluid mechanics, which largely provides its theoretical foundation. Looking back in history, water was used to turn wheels and operate levers.
The term hydraulics refers to the transformation of energy, whether it is mechanical or electrical.
The basic concept is to increase the pressure of the fluid using a pump and utilize it as useful work in an actuator, typically a cylinder. The fluid exerts pressure on the cylinder, transforming its force into a motion capable of lifting weight, actuating a mechanism, and so on.
What are the benefits of hydraulic systems?
Some of the benefits offered by hydraulic systems include:
- Control: The simple design of hydraulic systems involves the use of levers and buttons. These simple elements eliminate any complications in equipment control, as pressing a button or pulling a lever can start, stop, accelerate, etc., the hydraulic system.
- Power: Hydraulic power can be quickly and efficiently changed from a small output to a large one without complications due to the straightforward arrangement of the machinery.
- Maintenance: The simple design of hydraulic systems makes maintenance almost effortless. The low number of moving parts within the hydraulic system contributes to easy maintenance. The low maintenance requirements, simple design, and safe operation of these machines make them the most cost-effective systems.

Cylinders and jacks
A hydraulic cylinder, also known as a linear hydraulic motor, is a linear actuator used to push or pull a load or selectively resist movement under load through the pressure of a fluid.
Hydraulic cylinders consist of a cylinder within which a piston or plunger moves, transforming the pressure of a liquid (oil or water).
The primary function of a hydraulic cylinder is to convert the hydraulic energy stored in the hydraulic fluid into linear mechanical force or energy used to move the cylinder in a linear direction.
On the other hand, a hydraulic jack is a hydraulic actuator capable of generating considerable thrust by utilizing the properties of a high-pressure hydraulic system. In other words, a hydraulic jack is one of the most precise tools for lifting heavy objects and withstanding significant loads.
Hydraulic jacks are manufactured according to specific requirements. Taking into account factors such as capacity (measured in tons), cylinder stroke, height, and weight.
Press
A hydraulic press is a mechanism composed of interconnected vessels driven by pistons of different areas. By applying a small force to the piston with a smaller area, a larger force is obtained on the piston with a larger area.
Hydraulic presses generate much less noise, and the fewer the number of components, the lower the noise level.
The use of hydraulic presses leads to cost reduction due to their simple operation. Hydraulic presses are often more economical than mechanical ones, especially in terms of maintenance and replacement costs.
The total hydraulic pressure capacity can be supplied at any time, resulting in maximum force.
Among their many benefits, hydraulic presses also offer greater flexibility, as a single press can handle a variety of jobs within its load range. Additionally, these presses are usually smaller, resulting in a more compact size.
Pullers
Hydraulic pullers are designed to help extend the service life of bearings in applications through proper assembly, disassembly, and maintenance.
They are tools intended to facilitate the disassembly of mechanical parts fitted into inner housings’ shafts. They are used to remove bearings, bushings, and other mechanical components by distributing force through their claws, which act as a flat base on the bearing or part to be removed.
Pullers provide added value in mechanical work, increasing productivity and the lifespan of machines. In the industrial sector, there are highly sensitive parts that require careful handling through specialized tools like pullers.
