The movement of the piston is transferred to the piston rod, which in turn moves the load connected to it. This means that the cylinder can generate a substantial amount of force with relatively little input from the operator, making hydraulic systems highly efficient...
In the case of extension cylinders, for example, hydraulic fluid is channeled between multiple cylinders in a way that optimizes efficiency and minimizes the pressure required for each cylinder to operate. In such systems, the cylinder that requires the least amount...
