In most other hydraulic systems, hydraulic cylinders and pistons are connected through valves to a pump supplying high-pressure oil.The brakes in your car are a good example of a basic piston-driven hydraulic system. When you depress the brake pedal in your car, it is pushing on the piston in the brake's master cylinder. Four slave pistons, one at each wheel, actuate to press the brake pads against the brake rotor to stop the car.
