Pnuematics Technical -

Pneumatics, a subsection of an area called fluid power, is the use of pressurized air to effect mechanical motion.

Pneumatic power is used in industry where it is common to have industrial factory unit plumbed for compressed air. It also has applications in, among other things, dentistry, construction, and mining. Pneumatic power users need not worry about hazardous leakages as the fuel is commonly just air, although other compressed gases, such as carbon dioxide, may be used.

Pnuematic Vs Hydraulics:

Advantages of pneumatics -

CleanAir is used by a machine & is then exhausted to the atmosphere - no return line necessary.

Any leaks will be of air which is much safer than oil leaks in hydraulics

Availability

Air is freely available in the pneumatics

Most factories are pre-plumbed for compressed air distribution - which makes it very easy to set up a manufacturing process

Simplicity of design and control

Machines are easily designed using standard cylinders & other components. Control is as easy as its simple ON - OFF type control

Reliability

Pneumatic systems tend to have long operating lives and require very little maintenance.
Because air is compressable, the equipment is less likely to be damaged by shock. The air in pneumatics absorbs excessive force, whereas the fluid of hydraulics directly transfers force.

Storage

Compressed air can be stored, allowing the use of machines when electrical power is lost.

Very small fire hazard (compared to hydraulic oil)

Machines can be designed to be overload safe.

Advantages of hydraulics -

Fluid does not absorb any of the supplied energy.

Capable of moving much higher loads and providing much higher forces due to the incompressibility.

The hydraulic working fluid is basically incompressible, leading to a minimum of spring action. When hydraulic fluid flow is stopped, the slightest motion of the load releases the pressure on the load; there is no need to “bleed off” pressurised air to release the pressure on the load.
