Hi all,

Today blog will give you a brief history on the hydraulic cylinder, interesting right? Please read more below.

Hydraulic engineering and science have been a major force in the advancement of science, our understanding of technology and our own ability to change how we live and what we can achieve since the 1600s right up until the present day. As specialists in hydraulic repairs, we wanted to share with you the key figures and interesting history behind hydraulics!

The history of the hydraulic cylinder starts in 17th century France with a Frenchmen called Blaise Pascal (1623-1662). Pascal had many interests including, mathematics, physics and philosophy. His most important legacy is that of the hydrodynamic advancements he was responsible for. These advancements in science include the law that bears his name, Pascal’s law. This law was the result of Pascal’s scientific experiments and the breakthrough he made was to ultimately realise that a confined fluid put under equal pressure from all sides produces energy and this energy could be used as a power source. This realisation was to transform understanding of hydraulics and the capabilities and possibilities that were now within reach. Indeed, this discovery paved the way for machines such as the hydraulic printing press, and the syringe, both major advancements for the time and still very influential today.
