Many, many places. Good examples of hydraulic systems include automotive brakes, and the control systems of large aircraft. Pneumatic systems include many types of tools found in an automotive repair shop. Both systems supply forces somewhere remote from where it is practical to locate large machinery. Hydraulics give high forces with low losses, thanks to the virtual incompressibility of hydraulic fluids. Pneumatics are usually less efficient, though simpler since the "resevoir" in the circuit is the atmosphere. That eliminates return piping and leakage problems.

What are the fluids used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems?

Pneumatic systems use air or an inert gas. Hydraulic systems use water or oil.


What does hydraulic and pneumatic systems have incommon?

both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers


Why are hydraulic systems used in machinery such as bulldozers and backhoes while pneumatic systems are used for things such as opening and closing bus doors?

I think it is because hydraulic systems are stronger than pneumatic systems. if you know that is wrong then get an expert. : )


How pneumatic or hydraulic systems are used in a pneumatic sand or paint blaster?

Air pressure is used as ejector for the sand blasting.


Do hydraulic systems depend on air pressure?

Not usually. Hydraulic systems use fluids. Pneumatic systems use gas.


Can hydraulic and pneumatic be used together?

Yes - but not mixed. Pneumatic systems have more "give" (gas is compressible). Note that the power brakes on your car consists of both.


What type of brake fluid does the pneumatic ABS system use?

Pneumatic = Air! There are brake systems that use a combination of both pneumatic and hydraulic components. In those combination braking systems you would use the hydraulic brake fluid that the manufacture specifies.


What are power and control components?

Parts of electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic control systems.


Do hydraulics depend on air pressure?

Not usually. Hydraulic systems use fluids. Pneumatic systems use gas.


What is the difference of pressure between pneumatic and hidraulic?

Any pressure difference is irrelevant. The distinction is in the operating fluid. In pneumatic systems, it's a gas. In hydraulic systems, it's a liquid.


Difference between pneumatic and hydraulic machine?

Pneumatic system is operated by compressed air while hydraulic system is operated with pressurised hydraulic oil or any type viscous oil. Hydraulic systems can usually produce higher control forces and work under extreme operating conditions. This is the system that is primarily used on aircraft to move control surfaces and engine controls. You can often classify pneumatic systems because they have a pump (gas pump) and hydraulic systems have a piston. That is the difference. Also, pneumatic systems are louder because it is a gas under pressure. 1. By definition, hydraulics is used in controlling or harnessing power with the use of pressurized fluids whereas pneumatics studies how pressurized gases influences mechanical motion or movement. 2. Hydraulics uses an incompressible fluid medium like oil whereas pneumatics uses a compressible gas like air. 3. Hydraulic applications demand greater pressures during operations that reach thousands of pounds per square inch whereas pneumatic applications only require 100 psi pressures more or less. 4. Most hydraulic applications generally use bigger components that pneumatic applications. 5. Hydraulic systems are generally more difficult to operate compared to pneumatic applications
