What Are The Precautions for Using The Customized Hydraulic System? The function of the hydraulic system is to increase the force by altering the pressure. A complete hydraulic system consists of five components: power elements, actuating elements, control elements, auxiliary elements (accessories), and hydraulic oil. Hydraulic systems can be classified into two types: hydraulic transmission systems and hydraulic control systems. Hydraulic transmission systems mainly function to transfer power and motion. Hydraulic control systems aim to make the output of the hydraulic system meet specific performance requirements (especially dynamic performance). The hydraulic system commonly referred to is mainly the hydraulic transmission system.
