Acadiana Hydraulics FAQ Let's start with some basics and go from there, shall we? What Is Hydraulic Power? Hydraulic power is also referred to as fluid power. It has to do with circulating pressurized fluid, usually either water-glycol or a water-soluble oil, being transmitted to a motor that converts it to a mechanical output which makes it functional power. What Are Hydraulic Power System? Hydraulic power systems are a network of networked pipes that transfer pressurized liquid. This liquid is utilized to transmit mechanical power from one power source to equipment, like a motor or a lift. What Do People Use Hydraulic Power For? All kinds of things! Excellent question, if we do say so ourselves. There are many applications of hydraulics. From the braking system of a car to lifting equipment like hydraulic jacks and wheelchair lifts, the uses are numerous. Others include excavating and lifting arms on machinery (think diggers), wing flats and even rudders on boats and planes, hydraulic presses, which are typically utilized during the process of forging metal parts. What Is A Hydraulic Pump? Some people make the understandable mistake of thinking that hydraulic pumps generate pressure. Ha! No, no, no, no, no. Pumps produce liquid movement or flow. This flow is essential to the development of said pressure, which is the function of resistance to the fluid flowing within the pump's system. Think of it like this: a pump's pressure needs to rise up to get to the requisite level to basically overcome the load's resistance. Did we just confuse you? Sorry, it's science's fault, not ours.
