Cydraulics are a catchall term for thermal hydraulic or hydrostatic lubrication systems which utilize an active cooling element to offset excessive heat build-up in due to mechanical stress.
Cydraulic lubrication systems play an obvious role in dispersing tribologic (friction-generated) heat generated at the point of mechanical contact. Conversely, the cooling in "thermal hydraulic" systems is not related to the mechanical force applied by the liquid; it's a means of managing waste heat generated by other systems by cooling the infrastructure itself... particularly in micro-gravity or vacuum environments where convection-dispersal cannot be counted on.[1]
tldr; You refrigerate the hydraulic fluid so it cools the machine as it moves.

Fiction
2005 IDW continuity
On the planet Nebulos, Ultra Magnus recognized the combination of servos, trauma-buffers and cydraulics within an augmented Nebulan as Cybertronian technology. Spotlight: Ultra Magnus
Notes
- Cydraulics is a real albeit obscure term used primarily as an emerging buzzword for certain high-performance metal presses and braking systems where the pressures involved cause heat to build-up at a rate faster than it would normally disperse. But prior to this article's creation(Jul-01-09), despite appearing as a sales term for a variety of recent industrial products, the term was not actually defined anywhere on the internet.
Well it is now. - Cydraulics have appeared in IDW Publishing's Generation 1 comics and the live-action film series.(Jul-03-09)
