Advantages and Disadvantages of Hydraulic Systems

Advantages of Hydraulic Systems

1. Small size and lightweight;

2. High stiffness, high precision, and fast response;

3. High driving force, suitable for heavy-duty direct drive;

4. Wide speed regulation range with diverse speed control methods;

5. Self-lubricating, self-cooling, and long service life;

6. Easy to implement security protection.  

Disadvantages of Hydraulic Systems

1. Poor resistance to working fluid contamination;

2. Sensitive to temperature changes;

3. There is a risk of leakage;

4. Difficult to manufacture and high cost;

5. Not suitable for long-distance transmission and requires hydraulic power.
