Two connected pistons apply Pascal's law to convert force and displacement. For an ideal incompressible fluid, and , hence : output force gain is not an energy gain.

A hydraulic press is a machine that uses hydraulic pressure to compress, mold, or shape materials. It operates on the principle of Pascal's law, which states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure change occurs throughout the fluid in all directions. Key components of a hydraulic press include: 1. **Cylinders**: The press typically consists of two cylinders connected by a pipe.
