Advantages of hydraulic jacks?
Hydraulic jacks have the advantage of working quickly to raise or lower items like autos. A hydraulic jack is filled with fluid and can lift heavier loads while using less force.
What materials are used in mechanical jacks?
If we consider the friction or screw jacks used to lift a vehicle to change a flat, almost all of those are made entirely of metal (steel). In the case of hydraulic jacks, they are made largely of steel, and have rubber for seals and hydraulic fluid to provide the media to perform the hydraulic work.
What is a hydraulic jack made of?
Hydraulic jacks are always made of steel. No other material would be able to take such internal pressure
What happens if oils are used insteat of water in hydraulic jacks?
Most jacks use oil and not water so nothing adverse would happen.
How does the hydraulic cylinder jacks function?
There is no such thing as "hydraulic cylinder jacks". Hydraulic cylinder is different from hydraulic jacks. A hydraulic cylinder is a linear actuator used for converting fluid energy to an output force in a linear direction for performing various jobs. These include: pulling or pushing in engineering applications such as in machine tools, earth moving equipments, construction equipments and space applications. Jacks are portable devices used for raising heavy objects by means of force applied with a lever or screw. The hydraulic jacks are compact and lightweight units that are used for lifting capacities. They offer easy operation and are fast acting components. The hydraulic jacks come with inbuilt release pedal for rapid lowering and lugs that make it easy to mount. The heavy duty chassis prevents the jack from twisting or bending and foot pump provides fast lift to the load. It also has a safety overload valve that prevents overloading beyond rated capacity.
What are jacks and their functions?
Jacks are for lifting or raising things. They can be screwed jacks or air jacks, or most commonly, hydraulic jacks.
Do Hydraulic jacks should always be used with jack stands?
There is a possibility (a danger) that a hydraulic Jack can suddenly slip, or develop a leak and collapse. Once the jack has raised the vehicle, it is put on to jack stands (axle stands) to prevent being trapped underneath the vehicle.
Are Walker hydraulic jacks still made?
NAPA used to sell Walker jacks, check with them.

WhatType of hydraulic oil for hydraulic jacks?
Hydraulic jack oil Available at auto parts store or Wal-Mart Use AW68 grade hydraulic oil
What are in jacks?
This is a very general question. I am familiar with hydraulic or "bottle" jacks, and I think this is what your question is about. Hydraulic jacks have a pump to force hydraulic fluid into a hydraulic cylinder, which forces it to extend. This action is what raises whatever load you place it under. The fluid is usually pretty specific to the jack. Go to your local hardware store and ask for hydraulic jack oil. I have seen people use transmission fluid in a pinch (way out on the farm, miles from the store).
