In hydraulic systems, forces are transferred in a controlled manner by means of fluid. Hydraulic systems are used not only in motor vehicle technology, but also in drive, control and regulation technology in mechanical engineering, aircraft and aerospace, shipbuilding, earthmoving and road construction and agriculture. In addition to the basic principles of hydraulic systems, the overview below also describes the functions and operation of components and auxiliary systems. The control technology is made transparent by means of hydraulic diagrams with the most commonly used components and calculations.
