HYDRAULIC SYSTEM – OIL PRESSURE TRANSMITTED THROUGH PRESSURE HOSES
HYDRAULICS
In recent years, we have heard about the term "hydraulics" in various contexts, and from its name we conclude that it is related to liquids. This term refers to a special system that flows oil through pressure hoses and activates the consumer.
A hydraulic system compresses the liquid inside it with the help of this accumulated pressure and thus the liquid moves from one place to another.
A hydraulic system container includes a hydraulic pump, whose role is to increase the pressure in the hydraulic system, thereby creating a lot of power, and also, a lot of energy - with the help of which various operations containers are performed.
?WHAT IS HYDRAULICS
Hydraulics is, as mentioned, a system that transfers oil through pressure hoses. This system creates a lot of power, a lot of energy, by compressing the hydraulic oil in the hose. Hydraulic oil has a very high level of viscosity. With the help of the generated energy, the great power made possible by this hydraulic system, various operations continue to be performed, such as driving or stopping, lifting or lowering, moving to the sides, turning and more. The system was invented by the French physicist Blaise Pascal, who lived in the 17th century and focused on the study of liquids and their behavior. His various findings, including hydraulic pumps and hydraulic cranes, are based on the many studies he carried out during his life, which include reference to various pressure measurements that activate the hydraulic fluids.
?WHAT KNOWN USES FOR IT EXIST TODAY
The hydraulic system is an integral part of our lives and it continues to be found in various fields. Next to hydraulic pumps that are based on the pressure of hydraulic oil, you also find pneumatic systems that are based on the pressure of gases. When talking about pneumatics, we mean mechanical technology based on compressed gas, like air for example, instead of liquid, like hydraulics. Both hydraulic pumps and hydraulic pistons take part in many technological fields, such as automation and robotics. The system based on the laws of hydraulics can be found in various systems of rotation, lifting, pressing and also the production of various industrial products. They can be found in everything related to the drainage and transportation of waste water and also in the production of hydroelectric energy. The solutions offered today help save energy and at the same time significantly improve the work process.
Using pneumatic pistons has many advantages, compared to hydraulic pistons, for example. Air is a cheap and available material and is also very safe to use. While an oil leak in a hydraulic power unit container causes damage, an air leak does not cause damage and allows continued use without any interruption. On the other hand, compared to the hydraulic method, it is considered less efficient, since liquid compression creates a lot of power and more energy, compared to air compression. For this reason, in some cases, they choose to use the hydraulic pistons mainly to produce the great power that is needed in the work process.
