    The operating company was the Sydney and Suburbs Hydraulic Power Company, [27] later shortened to the Sydney Hydraulic Power Company. Pressure mains were either of 4-inch (100 mm) or 6-inch (150 mm) diameter, and at its peak, there were around 50 miles (80 km) of mains, [ 28 ] covering an area between Pyrmont , Woolloomooloo , and Broadway .

  3. Fluid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_power

    A fluid power system has a pump driven by a prime mover (such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine) that converts mechanical energy into fluid energy, Pressurized fluid is controlled and directed by valves into an actuator device such as a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, to provide linear motion, or a hydraulic motor or pneumatic motor, to provide rotary motion or torque.

    Hydraulic power pack; Transmission lines Hydraulic hoses; Passive components Hydraulic cylinders; For the hydraulic fluid to do work, it must flow to the actuator and/or motors, then return to a reservoir. The fluid is then filtered and re-pumped. The path taken by hydraulic fluid is called a hydraulic circuit of which there are several types.

    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 ...

  6. Hydraulic torque wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_torque_wrench

    A hydraulic torque wrench is a power tool designed to exert torque on a fastener to achieve proper tightening or loosening of a connection through the use of hydraulics. A torque wrench is applied to the nut either directly or in conjunction with an impact socket.

    Manual goldsmith press General-purpose hydraulic shop press Power press with a fixed barrier guard A HACO CNC hydraulic press brake A press brake bending a sheet of steel. A forming press, commonly shortened to press, is a machine tool that changes the shape of a work-piece by the application of pressure. [1]

  8. Power transfer unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_transfer_unit

    In aviation, a power transfer unit (PTU) is a device that transfers hydraulic power from one of an aircraft's hydraulic systems to another in the event that the other system has failed or been turned off. The PTU is used when, for example, there is right hydraulic system pressure but no left hydraulic system pressure.

  9. Advanced Arresting Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Arresting_Gear

    For AAG there is a variable energy dissipation by the water twister. There is an actual moving plate inside the water twister that adjusts how much resistance to the water is generated. Initially there was an underestimation of the forces involved inside the water twister because it is a three-dimensional flow field.
