Introduction

Hydraulic systems power a wide range of equipment used in industries like oil & gas, construction, and manufacturing. At Kuwait Gulf Hydraulics Company (KGH), we specialize in providing high-quality hydraulic services in Kuwait. But how exactly do these systems work? Let’s take a closer look.

What Is a Hydraulic System?

A hydraulic system uses fluid under pressure to transmit power. It’s based on Pascal’s Law, which allows a small force to be amplified into a much larger one—perfect for heavy-duty industrial tasks.

Main Components of a Hydraulic System

  • Hydraulic Pump – Converts mechanical power to hydraulic energy
  • Hydraulic Fluid – Transfers pressure, lubricates, and cools
  • Hydraulic Cylinder or Motor – Converts fluid pressure into motion
  • Valves – Control flow, pressure, and direction
  • Reservoir – Stores the hydraulic fluid

Need help with any of these? Check out our repair services.

How Do Hydraulic Systems Work?

  1. The pump draws fluid from the reservoir.
  2. Fluid is directed through valves to a cylinder or motor.
  3. This creates linear or rotary motion, depending on the component.
  4. The fluid returns to the reservoir to repeat the cycle.
