Fundamentals of hyprostatics

Hydrostatics is the study of the equilibrium of liquids and gases at rest under the influence of external forces, especially gravity. Its central concept is hydrostatic pressure, which denotes the force per area caused by a column of liquid and which is generated by the depth and density of the liquid and the acceleration due to gravity.

Hydrostatic systems are special hydraulic systems that use fluid pressure to moving parts of a machine tool to lift and guide. These systems are specially designed to enable friction-free and precise movements.
