How Powerful Hydraulic Pumps Are Made

Hydraulic pumps are made by combining a metal housing with an internal piston and an external power source. The power source can be either a hand-operated lever or an electric motor. The metal housing is typically made of aluminum or steel, and the piston is made of a durable material such as stainless steel. The piston is connected to the power source via a series of gears, and the entire assembly is filled with hydraulic fluid. When the power source is activated, the fluid is forced through the pump and into the attached hydraulic system.
