What unit transforms hydraulic pressure into linear motion?
Actuating cylinder
Hydraulic pump
Pressure regulator
Servo valve
The correct answer is: Actuating cylinder
An actuating cylinder is a mechanical device that converts hydraulic pressure into linear motion by moving a piston within a sealed cylinder. This is the most direct and effective method for transforming hydraulic pressure into motion and is commonly used in various machinery and equipment such as excavators, cranes, and forklifts. The other options listed, while all related to hydraulics, do not directly convert pressure into motion and therefore are not the correct units for this function.
