Best Answer

A positive displacement pump ( gear, vane or piston pump) is driven by a prime mover (Electrical Motor or Engine) it sucs fluid from reservior and delivers oil to system. During loading a resistance to flow creates the pressure which is utilised to do the work through cylinder for linear motion or through hydraulic motor for rotary motion, Direction of flow is changed with help of direction control valve & system pressure is regulated by pressure control valve & flow is regulated by flow control valve

Hydraulics work by using pressure to move fluid from one cylinder to another. The movement of fluid under pressure lifts or moves an object through the use of actuators and pistons.
