[29] Displacement transmission (1)
If the input piston of the
hydraulic press travels a distance s_1, a volume of fluid will be
displaced. This same volume displaces the output piston by the
distance s_2. If the area of this piston is larger than that of
the input piston, the distance s_2 will be shorter than
s_1.
Hydraulic displacement transmission is comparable to the mechanical law of levers.
