Hydraulic, or fluid power consists of the usage of fluids under pressure to control and transmit power

More specifically, power is trasferred by the controlled circulation of pressurized fluid, usually oil, to a motor or cylinder that converts it into a mechanical force for aspecific workload in a wide variety of industrial machinery and mobile applications. The use of fluid power in mobile applications is widespread (forklift trucks, electric/hybrid vehicles…), but fluid power is also used in industrial automation, where tools or work pieces are moved or held using hydraulic power such as: machine tools, presses, plastic injection moulding machines.

Among all Settima pumps, the Continuum® represents the ideal solution for all applications requiring hydraulic power, due to its characteristics of high pressure, no vibration and high precision.
