What is hydraulics?

Hydraulics is a technology and applied science involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids. At a very basic level, hydraulics is the liquid counterpart of pneumatics, which concerns gases. Hydraulics uses pressurized liquid to transmit force and motion. It is commonly used in machinery, vehicles, and equipment where high force and precise control are required, such as brakes, jacks, and heavy construction equipment.
