👉 The connecting fluid, also known as hydraulic oil or brake fluid, serves as a vital medium in mechanical systems, particularly in hydraulic and braking systems. It enables the transmission of force from a small input area to a larger output area, allowing for precise control and efficient operation of components like pumps, valves, and brakes. This fluid must possess specific properties, such as high viscosity at low temperatures for proper lubrication and low viscosity at higher temperatures to ensure smooth flow, making it indispensable for the reliable functioning of machinery.
