'''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 {{w|Tribology|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.<ref><tt>Heat rejection for all systems, open or closed, is a primary issue due to the constraints of weight and micro-gravity. The thermal hydraulic aspects of the systems must address the cooling of not only the reactor, but the power conversion and power conditioning equipment as well.</tt> — [http://web.archive.org/web/20100528051000/http://www-rsicc.ornl.gov/ANST_site/technical.pdf Technical Information Service], American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics</ref>

''tldr;'' You refrigerate the hydraulic fluid so it cools the machine as it moves.

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 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.
  • Cydraulics have appeared in IDW Publishing's Generation 1 comics and the live-action film series.(Jul-03-09)
