Where are hydraulic and pneumatic systems used in society and industry?

Pneumatic systems are most commonly used in automatic doors, be it in buildings or buses. They're used in production lines as a means to get the items around the line easily and quickly.
Hydraulics aren't commonly used in society, more industry.
They're used in heavy duty earth movers, such as JCB's, to enable them to move the large weights that they do.

What does hydraulic and pneumatic systems have incommon?
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
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 is electro-pneumatic control?
The pneumatic system controlled by electronic systems.
Do all hydraulic systems have an accumulator?
Most hydraulic systems do not have accumulators.
How do pneumatic tube systems work?
Pneumatic tube systems today are most seen at the drive-through windows of banks. Pneumatic tubes use pressured air to push a sealed object through the system. how do pneumatic truck trailers work?
What does hydraulic and pneumatic systems have incommon?
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
What are the fluids used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems?
Pneumatic systems use air or an inert gas. Hydraulic systems use water or oil.
Do hydraulic systems depend on air pressure?
Not usually. Hydraulic systems use fluids. Pneumatic systems use gas.
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. : )
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.
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 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.
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.
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
What cylinder is better hydraulic or pneumatic?
Strictly speaking, which is better depends on the equipment of which this cylinder is a part of. Pneumatic systems take on slight change in volumes (as air can get compressed on load and reduce in volume) and hence, a big NO for systems where even minute linear movements are critical. Hydraulic systems offer exact displacements. There are other considerations too
