Pascal's Law

Pascal's Law is a fundamental basis of hydraulics and states: pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions and acts with equal force on equal areas and at right angles to them.

Resistance to flow causes pressure

Here’s another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: What causes pressure in a hydraulic system? This is one of the least understood facts about hydraulics. The answer to the question is simple – resistance to flow causes pressure in a hydraulic system. Hydraulic pumps do not “pump” pressure; they create flow. When the flow from the pump encounters resistance, pressure results. Need help troubleshooting? Call our team of experienced troubleshooters today at 901-794-4884 or email sales@flinthyd.com.   

Transmitting force with mechanical leverage

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Hydraulics is similar to mechanical leverage in that with either means of transmitting force, a small input force results in a larger output force. This is the reason a small hydraulic cylinder can push with high force. The mathematical formula for a mechanical lever is Output Force = Input Force x Lever Length, while the formula for hydraulics is Output Force = Pressure x Piston Surface Area.
