Hydraulics

Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)

Hydraulics is the branch of engineering focused on using pressurized liquids, typically oil, to generate, control, and transmit mechanical force and motion. It underlies systems found in heavy machinery, construction equipment, aircraft controls, automotive brakes, and industrial presses, relying on principles like Pascal's law to multiply force through fluid pressure. Hydraulic engineers and technicians design, maintain, and repair these systems, valued for their ability to deliver high power density in compact mechanisms.
