2. BigDog - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BigDog

   BigDog is powered by a small two-stroke, one-cylinder, 15-brake-horsepower (11 kW) engine operating at over 9.000 RPM. The engine drives a hydraulic pump, which in turn drives the hydraulic leg actuators. Each leg has four actuators (two for the hip joint, and two each for the knee and ankle joints), for a total of 16.

3. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   Hydraulic actuators or hydraulic cylinders typically involve a hollow cylinder having a piston inserted in it. An unbalanced pressure applied to the piston generates a force that can move an external object. Since liquids are nearly incompressible, a hydraulic cylinder can provide controlled precise linear displacement of the piston. The ...

4. Hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

   A hydraulic cylinder is the actuator or "motor" side of this system. The "generator" side of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump which delivers a fixed or regulated flow of oil to the hydraulic cylinder, to move the piston. There are three types of pump widely used: hydraulic hand pump, hydraulic air pump, and hydraulic electric pump.

5. Electrohydraulic servo valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrohydraulic_servo_valve

   A servo valve receives pressurized hydraulic fluid from a source, typically a hydraulic pump. It then transfers the fluid to a hydraulic cylinder in a closely controlled manner. Typically, the valve will move the spool proportionnaly to an electrical signal that it receives, indirectly controlling flow rate.

6. Actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

   In the electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic sense, it is a form of automation or automatic control. The displacement achieved is commonly linear or rotational, as exemplified by linear motors and rotary motors, respectively. Rotary motion is more natural for small machines making large displacements.

7. Hydraulic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_motor

   The hydraulic motor is the rotary counterpart of the hydraulic cylinder as a linear actuator. Most broadly, the category of devices called hydraulic motors has sometimes included those that run on hydropower (namely, water engines and water motors ) but in today's terminology the name usually refers more specifically to motors that use ...
