Pneumatic systems use air pressure and flow to generate force and movement. They are powered by compressed air and include components like cylinders, valves, and actuators to control airflow and movement. Common pneumatic components include single-acting and double-acting cylinders to produce linear motion, and directional valves and logic valves to control airflow. Pneumatic systems tend to be slower but stronger than electric systems but can handle heavy loads and harsh environments.
2. Definition
• Pneumatic is a system / tools that is worked
basically using the air pressure / air flow
• Therefore the force / work / displacement
generated based on the general law of air
pressure and flow
• Pneumatic is an actuator using the air
pressure as their source of power
