Hydraulics is the art of using Creating motion and force by compressing a dense fluid within a confined space. Modern hydraulic systems transfer kinetic energy through a liquid from a smaller trigger (or master) cylinder to another larger, moving cylinder, following the principles discovered by French mathematician Blaise Pascal in the 18th Century. Pascal’s Principle […]
The basic components of a pneumatic system are near universal, despite the wide variety of specifications available for individual units. A pneumatic system refers to any static installation that operates using a compressed gas – either air extracted from the environment or an inert gas. These are distinct from hydraulic systems, which use compressed fluid […]
Getting the crimp just right is a critical element of successful and reliable hydraulic hose maintenance. Therefore it requires the correct tools for the job and a methodical and professional approach. Rushing may result in an under-crimped or over-crimped connection, which means trouble down the line. Under-crimping may permit fluid to travel back up the […]
