Good Things Come in Small Packages

There are numerous other applications for micro hydraulics as well in the fields of robotics, aeronautics and the military, many of which are proprietary systems for unique applications.

Hydro Rene Leduc’s Power-Pack, an oil field “down-hole” motor/pump assembly measuring less 40mm in diameter, is just one example of micro-hydraulic’s utility.

So when you think of hydraulics from here on in, just don’t think of those larger powerful systems, which are still rightfully impressive, but also think of the might of miniature hydraulics. I this case, size does matter and the smaller the better!
