Hydraulic actuators are devices that utilize the principles of hydraulics to convert hydraulic pressure into mechanical motion. They are commonly used in various applications where controlled, powerful, and precise movements are required. Here’s a breakdown of how they work and their essential characteristics: \#\#\# How Hydraulic Actuators Work: 1. **Hydraulic Fluid**: Hydraulic actuators use fluid (often oil) incompressible under pressure. The hydraulic fluid is contained in a system of pipes, valves, and cylinders.
