L2 Engineering Hydraulic Power Tools

What are hydraulic tools.
Hydraulic power tools are used for the generation, control, and transmission of power by pressurized liquids. Examples of hydraulic tools include jacks, presses, and impact wrenches.

How do they work?
Power is transmitted by controlled circulation of pressurized fluid, usually a water-soluble oil of water-glycol mixture, to a motor that converts it into a mechanical output capable of doing work on a load.

What safety precautions do you need to take?
Wear goggles and protective clothing when in use of the hydraulic. 

How do you maintain them? 
Before using the tool make sure that they are clean. The biggest thing that leads the machine to failure is dirt and contamination.

Give 3 examples of hydraulic tools in the workshop (you are likely to come across) 
  • Hydraulic riveters










  • Hydraulic punches
