Hydraulic Equipment

Hydraulics is a mechanical function that operates through the force of liquid pressure. In hydraulics-based systems, mechanical movement is produced by contained, pumped liquid, typically through hydraulic cylinders moving pistons.Titan Material Handling Pvt Ltd.

Formula

Hydraulic power is defined as flow multiplied by pressure. The hydraulic power supplied by a pump is: Power = (P x Q) ÷ 600 - where power is in kilowatts [kW], P is the pressure in bars, and Q is the flow in litres per minute

Uses and Applications

Hydraulics are often used for moving parts of mechanical systems that need to lift or push heavy objects. The landing gear in an aircraft use several hydraulic cylinders to move the wheels into place and to cushion the aircraft's landing.

Advantages

• Safe and easy to maintain with fewer moving parts.
• Responsive and supplies more power.
• Liquid does not absorb supplied energy.
• Easily controlled.
