Hydraulics is a branch of mechanical engineering that deals with the use of fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. In hydraulics, the behavior of liquids such as water or oil under pressure is studied and utilized to power machines and control systems. Hydraulics is used in a wide range of applications, including heavy machinery, manufacturing equipment, and transportation systems. It is a critical aspect of mechanical engineering that enables the efficient and precise control of complex systems.


This is an introduction in the world of hydraulics that will help you understand and it will guide you as you begin your journey into the magical world of hydraulic systems.
