Hydraulics
⭐ MasteredHydraulics use liquids under pressure to transmit force. Many machines, such as diggers and car brakes, use hydraulic systems to move heavy loads with control.
💡 Fun fact
Hydraulic systems can lift very heavy loads because liquids cannot easily be squeezed.
All about Hydraulics
Hydraulics use liquids under pressure to transmit force. When a liquid is pushed in one place, the pressure is passed along the pipe to another place, where it can move a piston. Many machines use hydraulics to lift and move heavy loads with control.
Hydraulic systems can lift very heavy loads because liquids cannot easily be squeezed. Diggers, lifts and car brakes all use hydraulic systems to multiply force.
