Here's how a hydraulic system operates:

A hydraulic system transmits force using an incompressible fluid.

  1. A force applied to a piston in the master cylinder creates pressure in the fluid.
  2. This pressure is transmitted equally throughout the fluid, as per Pascal's Principle.
  3. The pressure then acts on a piston in the slave cylinder (or actuator) at the other end.
  4. This generates an output force, which can be used to perform work, such as moving a component.
