Pneumatic systems are used in train braking systems and is called the 'Westinghouse Brake'. This fail safe system uses a vacuum pump to remove the air from a pipe connecting all the carriages together. This vacuum holds off the brakes. Applying the brakes allows air into the 'train pipe' and the brakes are applied. Thus if a carriage becomes uncoupled and the pipe lets air in the brakes are automatically applied.

A Hydraulic system usually employs high pressure oil moving the piston up and down a steel cylinder. Jacks and Diggers use this system which is extremely powerful because oil is virtually incompressible. If air or gas were used as in a pneumatic system for the same task compression of the gas would render the actuators virtually useless when under load. This is why gas filled cylinders, called dampers, are used in vehicle shock absorbers.
example
Take a bike pump and put your finger over the hole and push the pump in. You get a fair way in before the compressed gas balances the pressure your muscles apply. Heat is generated in the compressed gas. Not suck water up into the pump and try again.You don't get anywhere because the water in not compressible.

How is hydraulic system better than pneumatic system with a brief disicussion?
Difficult question to answer without context. Key thing to understand is a pneumatic system uses a compressor, whereas a hydraulic system uses a pump. Hydraulic fluid is essentially incompressible, whereas compressed air will fill any volume. Ask yourself: What is my pneumatic/hydraulic system supposed to do? How fast should it react and what horsepower is available to drive my compressor/pump? What force do I need at my actuator/motor or whatever the system is expected to power? Generally, I think pneumatic systems can react more quickly but power density is lower, so if the load is very high a hydraulic system might be better. A typical shop pneumatic system might only operate at 50psi, whereas a hydraulic system can operate at 3000psi. Finally, it's also worth thinking about system safety: if a pneumatic component fails, there will be an explosive decompression, but if a hydraulic component fails, it will leak but will not explode because hydraulic fluid does not store energy, it only transmits it.
Is a jackhammer a pneumatic or hydraulic system?
a jackhammer uses a pneumatic system.the jackhammer is a direct combination of a hammer and a chisel
How do you maintain a pneumatic system?
use two syringes attached with tubing, make sure one is totally pulled out and the other is all the way in. apply force to the syringe that is out and the other one should go out. if you can make a hydraulic system, because liquid cannot compress, and air can, meaning the hydraulic system will work faster than a pneumatic system.
What are some examples of pneumatic devices?
Yes there is. Pneumatic valve springs. They are metal bellows that have air in them. Their use is in replacing metal wire springs in a high-speed combustion engine. An example would be formula one engines.
Is a volcano a Pneumatic or hydraulic system?
Elements of both but the molten rock pyroclastic flows (Mauna Kea , Hawaii) are hydraulic, the Mt. St Helens eruption was to a large extent pneumatic as the water turned to steam.
What does hydraulic and pneumatic systems have incommon?
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
How does a pneumatic differ from hydraulic system?
Transmission fluid is performed by the hydraulic system. Pneumatic power transmission system is done by the gas.
Are all cranes hydraulic?
It may be hydraulic or pneumatic system
Pneumatic brake system?
Used in trucks and buses. This type of braking system of pneumatic and hydraulic hybrid vehicles.

Do pneumatic have less power then hydraulic?
Yes. Though the response time of a pneumatic system is better as compared to hydraulic, power output is higher in latter.
Why is the pneumatic system less reliable then the hydraulic system?
Gases can be compressed. Liquids can't.

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 some examples of pneumatic devices?
Yes there is. Pneumatic valve springs. They are metal bellows that have air in them. Their use is in replacing metal wire springs in a high-speed combustion engine. An example would be formula one engines.
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.
