Hydraulics<\/strong> is a technique for transmitting mechanical energy using pressurized fluid (oil). A dual energy conversion process allows power to be transferred and regulated with great flexibility.<\/p>\n

What it is and where it is applied<\/h2>

The mechanical energy from a prime mover (electric or internal combustion) is processed by a pump that pressurizes the hydraulic oil; this then drives a hydraulic motor or cylinder, returning mechanical energy (torque or force). This technique allows high power to be transferred even over long distances and regulated with precision\u2014hence its widespread use in industry, shipbuilding, and earthmoving.<\/p>

Design and Challenges<\/h2>

Proper design takes into account the sizing of pumps and motors, pressure and flow management, fluid filtration and conditioning, and heat dissipation. TFS supports customers in the design of efficient and reliable hydraulic systems.<\/p>\n
