How do Hydraulic Exercise Equipments Work?
It is quite important to understand the mechanics of the hydraulic exercise equipments before making an investment in them. The principle of the hydraulic machines is actually quite simple – it is no more than school level physics. When pressure is applied on one part of a liquid, the liquid transmits the pressure equally to its own entire volume. Now if you set up a release point in this liquid, then the pressure is obtained maximum at this release point. If the liquid is incompressible, then the pressure is completely carried over the point of release. Consider a pipe filled with oil. This pipe has an inlet and an outlet, both fitted with pistons. Now if you press the inlet piston downwards, you can be sure that the outlet piston will be pushed upwards. This is true the other way round also. What has happened is that the pressure has got carried over from the inlet piston to the outlet piston. You can make variations in this to get as much pressure as you want. If you use a small inl
