Solids do not flow at room temperature, so they are not practical for use in hydraulics. When a gas like air is used in a system similar to hydraulics, it is called pneumatics. Sometimes hydraulic systems use both, like in an automobile lift.

Why are liquids used in hydraulics instead of gasses?

Liquids are used in hydraulics instead of gases because liquids are nearly incompressible, ensuring consistent force transmission. Gases, on the other hand, are compressible, leading to fluctuations in pressure and decreased efficiency in hydraulic systems. Additionally, liquids provide better lubrication and cooling properties compared to gases.


What is hydraulics and pmeumatics?

Hydraulics is the use of liquids to transmit power. Pneumatics is the use of gases (usually air) to transmit power.
