Hydraulics usually is more accurate because you can't compress a fluid in the way that you can air and so air cylinders are always going to be "spring" like in their operation. One way around this would be to use geared air motors and some sort of feedback if positioning is important.

What is difference between hydraulic cylinder And pneumatic cylinder?
1. Working fluid : Pneumatics use air, Hydraulics use Oil2. Power : Pneumatic power less than hydraulic power3. Size : P components are smaller than H components4. Leakage : Leaks in hydraulics cause fluid to be sticking around the components. In pneumatics air is leaked into the atmosphere.5. Pneuatics obtain power from an air compressor while hydraulics require a pump6.Air is compressable, hydraulic oil isn'tHydraulic oil is slightly compressable particularly when air is entrained within itHydraulics can also attain power from an air accumulatorPNEUMATIC POWER IS NOT BNECESSARILY LESS THAN HYDRAULIC POWERTHE LOSSES TEND TO BE GREATER IN PNEUMATICS BUT THIS IS DUE TO ENGINEERING RATHER THAN CHARACTERISTICS.Pneumatics are much easier to configure for control applicationsI disagree with answer 3 above, it depends on the application.XDMiss.godgivenhope@hotmail.comPneumatic machines use the power of compressed air to perform work.Hydraulic machines use the incompressibility of water under pressure to perform work.
How do JCBs use hydraulics?
it runs with hydraulics .the hydraulics contains some oil immersion , fluids.
Do bulldozers use hydraulics?
Yes, they can use hydraulics.
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.
How are pneumatic and hydraulic systems different?
the main difference between hydraulic and pneumatic system is that hydraulics uses fluid to power their system and pneumatic uses air (in that case air is not a fluid) All matter is made up with all particles. thanks you can see more answer in this web i put these all answer.
Where are hydraulics plus pneumatic systems used?
Nowhere As of now!
What is the primary difference between pneumatics and hydraulics?
In hydraulics. Power is transmitted through the air. The pneumatic. Power is transferred by the oil.
What are the differences between Hydraulics and Pneumatic systems?
Hydraulics use liquids as the working fluid, pneumatics use gases as the working fluid.
Do hydraulics depend on air pressure?
Not usually. Hydraulic systems use fluids. Pneumatic systems use gas.
Difference between hydraulics and pneumatics?
hydraulic is liquid based, pneumatic is air.
Can a pneumatic control valve be used with hydraulics?
No. There are a few reasons why a pneumatic control valve can not be used with hydraulics applications. Firstly, pneumatic seals are incompatible to the chemical properties of hydraulic oils and they do not have the strength to accommodate the high pressures produced by a hydraulic system. Secondly, pneumatic valves are not designed for high pressure operation and the component would get damaged, burst or crack. Finally, the tolerances within pneumatic components would allow by-passing due to the slacker tolerances compared to hydraulic components. By-passing causes all sorts of problems by itself: Over-heating, leaking, internal structure damage of the component.
When to choose pneumatic or electric actuators?
pneumatics are used only in low power applications hydraulics are used in medium to high power applications.
4 examples of a pneumatic device?
erm.... Pneumatic Drill Pneumatic Cylinder Pneumatic Actuator Pneumatic Switch Pneumatic Nailgun Pneumatic Air gun Pneumatic Launcher Bit more than four, but now you can choose, hope this helps,
What are hydraulic breaks?
Brakes that are actuated by a hydraulic fluid (such as brake fluid). Other types are air over hydraulic (air actuates hydraulics) and pneumatic (air) brakes.
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)
