From backyard log splitters to the huge machines
you see on construction sites, hydraulic equipment is amazing in its strength
and agility. On any construction site you see hydraulically-operated machinery
in the form of bulldozers, backhoes, shovels, loaders, fork lifts and cranes
. Hydraulics also operate the control surfaces on any large airplane. You
see hydraulics at car service centers lifting the cars so that mechanics
can work underneath them, and many elevators are hydraulically-operated
using the same technique. Even the brakes in your car use hydraulics. Hopefully
this will give you a good idea about the basic principles that hydraulic systems
use to do their work. |
