A hydraulic press is a device (see machine press) using a hydraulic cylinder to generate a compressive force. It uses the hydraulic equivalent of a mechanical lever, and was also known as a Bramah press after the inventor, Joseph Bramah, of England. He invented and was issued a patent on this press in 1795.
here we use Pascal’s principle as a basis for interpretation for a few worked examples relating to the hydraulic press. Pascal’s principles of pressure simply show that pressure in an enclosed fluid is equally transmitted throughout the fluid. The fluid can either be a liquid or a gas. In this video this principle is demonstrated using a hydraulic press. However it can also be used in the hydraulic brake system and oil is the most commonly used fluid.
