21/11/2024
- The first mechanisms that were the prototype of the modern hydraulic pump appeared in ancient times, in particular in Rome, where they were used to lift boulders and water
- Modern hydraulic pumps are very economical in terms of energy use, with an efficiency of up to 90%.
- Hydraulic pumps use the so-called “Bernoulli's law”, which is essentially a principle of fluid mechanics that describes the relationship between the velocity of liquids and pressure
- Hydraulic pumps and systems are powerful tools for performing extremely difficult lifting and technical tasks. The pressure can often reach 600 bar and more
- The variety of applications of hydraulic pumps and systems is enormous: for example, they are used to control rocket engine systems, for medical equipment, in the marine industry and in space technology
