Older type cranes used pneumatics for the operation of the crane's control systems. The actual movement of the crane's working components are usually operated by hydraulic cylinders or winch systems. The winch systems used to be powered by mechanical friction mechanisms but are typically powered by hydraulic motors today. Typically, pneumatics are never used to power the crane's load bearing functions

Do short rise elevators use a pneumatic or hydrolic system?
Hydrolic
Difference in pnumatic and hydrolic system?
Pneumatic, use of air. Hydraulic, use of oil or other fluid.
What are some examples of pneumatic devices?
Yes there is. Pneumatic valve springs. They are metal bellows that have air in them. Their use is in replacing metal wire springs in a high-speed combustion engine. An example would be formula one engines.
What is a Natural pneumatic system?
Lungs

What is the function of a motor in the crane?
Depending on the type, it either drives the parts mechanically through pulleys, direct connections, etc. or it pumps the hydrolic fluid which operates the crane. (PS, I know hydrolic is spelled incorrectly)
What's the difference in performance between a pneumatic and a hydraulic rotary actuator?
Hydrolic are faster and more powerful. They use comressed air.
What fluid is used in a pneumatic system?
Usually ordinary air is used in a pneumatic system.
What is electro-pneumatic control?
The pneumatic system controlled by electronic systems.
What is a pneumatic braking system?
Pneumatic braking system utilizes compressed air to stop the motion in vehicles.
How is pneumatic system used in a pneumatic sand or paint blaster?
Sand blasting uses air pressure as an ejector within the blasting process. This is how the pneumatic system is used in a pneumatic sand or paint blaster.
What does hydraulic and pneumatic systems have incommon?
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
Why the human respiratory system can be thought as a natural pneumatic system?
human respiratory uses air pressure like pneumatic system does
Pneumatic brake system?
Used in trucks and buses. This type of braking system of pneumatic and hydraulic hybrid vehicles.
