Hydraulic Fluid

Overview

Hydraulic fluids, also called hydraulic liquids, are the medium by which power is transferred in hydraulic machinery. Common hydraulic fluids are based on mineral oil or water.[1] Examples of equipment that might use hydraulic fluids include excavators and backhoes, brakes, power steering systems, transmissions, garbage trucks, aircraft flight control systems, lifts, and industrial machinery.

It forms the basis for much of the power transmission for GVCS technologies.

Hydraulic systems like the ones mentioned above will work most efficiently if the hydraulic fluid used has low compressibility.
