Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems are similar in that they both use double/single acting cylinders to operate something - Be it an automatic door for pneumatics and other such trivial tasks, or JCBs with hydraulics.
Another key similarity would be the way in which they work - they both take the easiest path where available and both use 3/2 valves.
A major difference between them is the pressures involved, the output forces and the use of 4/3 (hydraulics) and 5/2 (pneumatics) to operate a double acting cylinder.
What else can I help you with?
What is a pneumatic fluid?
Air. Pneumatic systems use compressed air.
What are the fluids used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems?
Pneumatic systems use air or an inert gas. Hydraulic systems use water or oil.
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.
Give 3 examples of pneumatic systems?
Pneumatic systems are usually closed systems. Blowing up a party balloon would be one example. A cycle pump would be another, and an air-based system for moving components in pipes would be another. A windmill or a hand fan would not usually be considered to be pneumatic systems because they do not enclose the air component.
What does hydraulic and pneumatic systems have incommon?
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
What is a pneumatic fluid?
Air. Pneumatic systems use compressed air.
What is electro-pneumatic control?
The pneumatic system controlled by electronic systems.
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.
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?
When pneumatic system are use?
There are two types of pneumatic systems currently used in naval aircraft
What machines use pneumatic tube systems?
A variety of automation systems use pneumatic tubes to move material via puffs of air. Bank systems still use them. In the Denver Airport, large pneumatic tubes move aircraft parts around the terminals.

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.
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.
How pneumatic or hydraulic systems are used in a pneumatic sand or paint blaster?
Air pressure is used as ejector for the sand blasting.
