2. Hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

   A hydraulic cylinder (also called a linear hydraulic motor) is a mechanical actuator that is used to give a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. [ citation needed ] It has many applications, notably in construction equipment ( engineering vehicles ), manufacturing machinery , elevators , and civil engineering.

3. Position-sensing hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-sensing_hydraulic...

   The machining and additional production steps associated with “gun drilling” the piston rod can add cost to the finished cylinder. Magnetostrictive LDTs provide extremely high accuracy, down to one micron. [3] Hydraulic cylinder with a Hall effect sensor mounted along its barrel to sense position of a magnetic piston inside. The sensor is ...

4. Telescopic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_cylinder

   Single acting telescopic cylinders are the simplest and most common design. As with a single acting rod style cylinder, the single acting telescopic cylinder is extended using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure but retracts using external forces when the fluid medium is removed and relieved to the reservoir.

5. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

   The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...

6. Jack (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_(device)

   Within is a vertical lifting ram with a support pad of some kind fixed to the top. The jack may be hydraulic or work by screw action. In the hydraulic version, the hydraulic ram emerges from the body vertically by hydraulic pressure provided by a pump either on the baseplate or at a remote location via a pressure hose. With a single action ...

   Hydraulic Flood Retention Basin (HFRB) View from Church Span Bridge, Bern, Switzerland Riprap lining a lake shore. Hydraulic engineering as a sub-discipline of civil engineering is concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water and sewage. One feature of these systems is the extensive use of gravity as the motive force to ...
