Question

Accepted Answer

Pneumatic systems use compressed air while hydraulic systems use pressurized liquid to transmit power.

Pneumatic systems are generally cheaper and easier to maintain than hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic systems can generate more force than pneumatic systems due to the incompressibility of liquids.
Pneumatic systems are commonly used in industries such as food processing and packaging, while hydraulic systems are used in heavy machinery and construction equipment.
Pneumatic systems are less efficient than hydraulic systems due to air compression and expansion.
Hydraulic systems are more precise than pneumatic systems due to the ability to control the flow of liquid.
