Best Answer

Force is equal to pressure times area. By increasing the area of the output force, the force goes way up. This is because water cannot be compressed, and therefore the pressure cannot change. In this way, a hydraulic device works almost like a lever. It increases the area of the output force and therefore decreases the amount of input force needed.

Hydraulic pumps work the same as any other pump, the difference is the controls used to direct the fluids where it needs to go to work what it is applied to.

Most hydraulic pumps have 2 identical gears next to each other and they push the fluid in the troughs on the outside walls of the pump to the pressure side.

All hydraulic pumps are "positive displacement pumps." But there are many different types, gear, rotary, screw, etc. To answer your question, you would need to specify which type you are referring to.

In a hydraulic lift system, an increased output force is produced because a constant fluid pressure is exerted on the larger area of the output piston.

How do machines with hydraulics work?

From backyard log splitters to the huge machines you see on construction sites, hydraulic equipment is amazing in its strength ­and agility! On any construction site you see hydraulically operated machinery in the form of bulldozers,backhoes, shovels, loaders, fork lifts and cranes. Hydraulics operate the control surfaces on any large airplane. You see hydraulics at car service centers lifting the cars so that mechanics can work underneath them, and many elevators are hydraulically operated using the same technique. Even the brakes in your car use hydraulics!!!
