How Hydraulic Machines Work ... If you have read How a Block and Tackle Works or How Gears Work, then you know that trading force for distance is very common in mechanical systems. In a hydraulic system, all you do is change the size of one piston and cylinder relative to the other, as shown here:

Hydraulics operate the control surfaces on any large airplane. You see hydraulics at car service centers lifting the cars so that mechanics can work underneath them, and many elevators are hydraulically-operated using the same technique.

You can see hydraulics at work in this digger. When the driver pulls a handle, the digger's engine pumps fluid into the narrow pipes (shown in blue), forcing the hydraulic rams (shown in red) to extend. The rams look a bit like bicycle pumps working in reverse.

A car, for example, works by oil hydraulics. When you press down on the brake pedal a master piston is activated and pressure is sent to all the wheel cylinders at each of the 4 brakes (2 front and 2 back). Sometimes, you can hear a big truck using air pressure brakes on a big hill to slow their rig down.

So, assuming energy is conserved (no losses in energy due to friction or other forces), the total work into the system is equal to the total work out of the system. Work = Force x Distance. W = FY Wi = Wo => FiYi = FoYo ; ... How Do Hydraulics Work? ... To understand how hydraulics work, one must understand Pascal's Law.
