From the humble theories of Pascal’s Principle dawned the hydraulic jack and these principles continue to be applicable today.
While the Principle may now be several hundred years old, modern day technology has enabled development of the hydraulic jack to virtually create miracles and move items weighing up to several thousand tons without too much effort.
Your basic jack may be suitable for most, if not all of the domestic and car markets, when looking for industrial applications, the hydraulic jack needs to be somewhat more technical and obviously robust.
When looking at the industrial end of the market, these hydraulic jacks to be seriously strong and robust yet easily worked.
Following equally humble beginnings nearly 40 years ago, we at HTS are now extremely well known for their knowledge and creativity when it comes to developing load moving equipment. Read more...
Anybody who has ridden a bike with spring coil shock absorbers on hard undulating surfaces would know how different and efficient the damping is on a pneumatic and hydraulic shock. The present day shock is a very state of the art shock and vibration damping equipment that works on either compressed air power or fluids to dissipate the energy and the vibrations generated from tyre contact with road surface. The shock impulse is dissipated through the Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder with a sliding piston setup inside. The cylinder is filled with a fluid or air, as the requirement might be. Shock absorbers find use not only in the motor and automobile suspensions but in aircraft landing gear, in drilling equipment, in earth moving equipment, in oil rigs and many other huge industrial machineries. The same principle behind shock absorbers is employed in rail transport which limits the yawing of bogies from side to side in a fast moving train. Read more...
Hydraulic machinery are machines and tools that use fluid power to do the work. Almost all types of heavy equipment is a common example. With this type of equipment, hydraulic fluid is pumped to a high pressure then transmitted through the machine to various actuators.
The hydraulic pumps are powered by engines or electric motors. The pressurized fluid is controlled by the operator with control valves and then distributed through hoses and tubes.
The increasing popularity of hydraulic machinery is due to the large amount of power that is transferred through small tubes and flexible hoses. The high power density and wide array of actuators can make use of this power.

The theory that lies behind hydraulic equipment is fluid pressure.
1. A force that acts on a small area can create a bigger force by acting on a larger area by hydrostatic pressure. Read more...
