A hydraulic system uses an incompressible fluid to transmit power through pressurized fluid. It consists of a prime mover, pump, control valves, actuators like hydraulic motors and cylinders, piping and fluid. Control valves like directional valves, flow control valves and pressure control valves are used to control the flow and direction of fluid. Common actuators include hydraulic cylinders which produce linear motion and hydraulic motors which produce rotary motion. Filters and accumulators support the core hydraulic components. Hydraulic systems have applications in industrial machinery, mobile equipment, automobiles, marine vessels and aerospace equipment.
