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 is a antonym for hydraulic?

An antonym for "hydraulic" is "pneumatic." While hydraulic systems use liquids to transmit power, pneumatic systems utilize gases, typically air. This fundamental difference in the medium of power transmission highlights their contrasting characteristics in various applications.


What are power and control components?

Parts of electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic control systems.


Why meter in and meter out is not in pneumatic system?

Meter in and meter out are terms commonly used in hydraulic systems to control the flow rate of fluid. In pneumatic systems, flow control valves such as needle valves or flow restrictors are used to regulate the speed of the air flow. These components are designed specifically for pneumatic applications due to the differences in fluid properties and system requirements between pneumatic and hydraulic 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.
