The hydraulic system theory was derived by the great scientist by the name of Henry Pascal. The hydraulic system theory is based Pascal's law which states that if at any place a liquid is transferred undiminished in all directions in the interior of the container, then large amount of forces can be generated with little power and effort. Let us take an example. A 5 pound force which is exerted on a 1 inch square can exert a force of 5 PSI. Hence if the same pressure acts on a 10 inch square area, it will generate a pressure equal to 50 PSI.
The hydraulic system theory proves that in a hydraulic cylinder, the force that can be exerted by the cylinder is dependent on the bore size as well as the pressure exerted by the pump. Also the speed at which the piston in the pump will move depends on the flow rate from the pump as well as the area of the cylinder.
A very simple hydraulic circuit consists of a pump, reservoir, a relief valve, a 3 way control valve, connectors and lines and a single acting cylinder. The system can be used where the cylinder piston is restored to the original position by the mechanical force. When the control valve is in neutral force, the pump flow begins to pass through the valve and then comes back to the cylinder. When the valve is shifted, the oil is directed to the piston side of the cylinder resulting in the piston moving and causing the rod to extend.
When the valve is returned to the neutral position, the oil is trapped in the cylinder and the pump flow is returned to the reservoir. When the valve is shifted in the opposite direction, lets the oil pass back to the reservoir. The relief valve helps to limit the pressure to an amount that you have the liberty to decide.

The hydraulic system with a double acting cylinder is quite different from a single acting cylinder system. The double acting cylinder system can exert pressure in both the directions. When the control valve is in neutral position, the flow is returned to the reservoir. When the control valve is shifted in one position, the oil is directed to the piston side of the cylinder. The oil from the side of the rod passes back to the reservoir through the valve.
