Hydraulic system is an energy transmission system. In a hydraulic system, mechanical energy is transformed into hydraulic energy. The hydraulic energy is used for energy transport, for energy control or regulation and is then converted back into mechanical energy again. The conversion from mechanical into hydraulic energy takes place using a hydraulic pump; the conversion from hydraulic into mechanical energy takes place through hydraulic cylinders motors.
If we choose a dumper truck to explain the principle of a hydraulic units. Usually a skip is used to transport large quantities of bulk materials in construction sites, mining or ore extraction. A dumper truck basically consists of a driver's cabin with a driving unit and a trough or skip for loading, which can be tipped by means of one or more cylinders for unloading. The hydraulic system in this case controls the cylinder and also makes sure that the trough or skip can be lifted against the weight of the bulk material. Once the cylinder stroke has reached the uppermost position, the dumper truck is completely emptied.
