Hydraulics is a fundamental technology, which plays a key role in numerous branches of industry and technical applications. The term is derived from the ancient Greek words “hydro” (water) and “aulos” (pipe). At its core Hydraulics deals with the flow behavior of fluids and their use for power and energy transmission.
The basic principle of hydraulics is based on Pascal’s law: Pressure exerted on a fluid in a closed system is distributed evenly in all directions. This enables the efficient transmission of forces over long distances and the multiplication of forces.
There are three main variants of hydraulic power transmission:
The hydrostatic drive is primarily used for construction machinery, as it enables infinitely variable adjustment of the output-side speed.
Hydraulic fluids are special pressure fluids that are used as media for transmission of energy or signals in hydraulic systems. Mineral oils are typically used according to DIN 51524 Part 2 HLP, but other liquids such as biodegradable oils or water-glycol mixtures can also be used.
Hydraulic systems for production machines in the automotive, metal and plastics industries, as well as logistics.
Hydraulic systems for agricultural vehicles and vehicles in the construction industry.
Hydraulic components in hydraulic presses to form, bend, punch or press components.
Hydraulic technology in injection molding, e. g. for mold closing and opening as well as pressure and temperature control.
Hydraulic components for oil and gas extraction, tunnel construction, geothermal projects or exploratory drilling.
