Hydraulic fluids are essential liquids used in hydraulic systems to transmit power and control machinery. They come in various types, including mineral oil-based, synthetic, water-based, and bio-based fluids, each catering to specific applications.

These fluids possess properties like viscosity, lubrication, thermal stability, anti-wear, and corrosion resistance. Mineral oil-based fluids are commonly used for their lubrication and thermal stability, while synthetic fluids offer enhanced performance in extreme conditions. Water-based fluids are used where fire resistance and environmental safety are crucial, and bio-based fluids provide an eco-friendly alternative.

Hydraulic fluids find applications in automotive, industrial, aerospace, construction, and marine sectors. Selecting the right fluid is vital, considering factors such as temperature, pressure, and environmental concerns to ensure efficient and reliable hydraulic system operation. Regular maintenance and monitoring of hydraulic fluids are crucial to maintain system integrity and performance.
