pneumatic equipment is used in many areas of industry;
enabling robotic movement by allowing movement of air cylinder- pistons
control of functions in engineering eg; valve controls
operation of safety devices which protect equipment, plant and user
enabling a transmission of a signal from 1 device to another in low pressure ranges; typically 0.2 to 1 bar pressure.

What is pneumatics and how does it work?
In a nutshell, pneumatics is a means whereby signals and energy are transmitted, controlled and distributed using pressurized air as the medium. Pneumatics can be effectively combined with other technologies through the use of sensors, transducers and microprocessors
What are the Principles of Pneumatics?
pnuematic and control principles
What are the advantages of pneumatics system?
Speed​​. Rapid transfer of power. Cheap air. The system is simple.
Why pneumatics important to industry?
Pneumatic has a carbide industry. Many things can be done with air pressure and a remote control.
What type of starting system in high bypass turbofan engine?
High Bypass turbofan engines use pneumatics (air) for starting the engines.
Where are pneumatics used?
people
How is pneumatics used for cutting?
it isn't
Who invented pneumatics?
Pneumatics have been used for thousands of years, ever since hunters used the blow-gun to take down their prey.
Uses of pneumatics in automobile machine?
In an Automobile Pneumatics is used in tyres, breaks, suspension speed control and time delay
What fluids is used in pneumatics?
They are gases, usually air.
When has pneumatics been used?
more than your life time
What is pneumatics all about?
Pneumatics is the use of pressurized gas to affect mechanical motion.
How do you reverse pneumatics?
you dont
Similarities between hydraulics and pneumatics?
easy: Both use pressure now hydrolics used liquids (liquids cannot be compressed) to exhert pressure pneumatics uses gasses which are compressed to exhurt pressure thtas the basics anyway
Does a fridge use pneumatics or hydralics?
it compresses and expands gas so i would say pneumatics but not in the normal sense
When to choose pneumatic or electric actuators?
pneumatics are used only in low power applications hydraulics are used in medium to high power applications.
With regard to compressibility how the working fluids in pneumatics and hydraulics differ?
Fluids are used in Hydraulics - fluids are essentially incompressible - they transmit forces well (e.g. a car bottle lack) Gases are used in pneumatics - gases are compressible - you can therefore store energy in a pneumatic system (e.g. a car tyre)
