How do hydraulic systems work?

A hydraulic system is a closed system that converts pressurized fluid into mechanical energy. Hydraulic fluid is delivered by a pump through a control valve to a mechanical actuator (such as a hydraulic cylinder or motor), which then uses the pressure to move equipment such as tractor buckets, excavators and cranes. It consists of many components:

The reservoir holds the hydraulic oil.

The hydraulic pump moves the fluid through the system and converts mechanical energy and motion into hydraulic fluid power.

The electric motor powers the hydraulic pump.

The valve controls the flow of fluid and relieves excess pressure in the system when necessary.

The hydraulic cylinder converts hydraulic energy back into mechanical energy.

There are also many types of hydraulic systems, but each system contains the same major components mentioned above. They are also all designed to work in the same way.

Hydraulic systems use pumps to push hydraulic fluid through the system to create fluid power. The fluid flows through valves to cylinders, where the hydraulic energy is converted back into mechanical energy. Valves help direct the flow of fluid and relieve pressure when needed.
