What Are The Differences Between Pneumatics And Hydraulics?

1.	What Are The Differences Between Pneumatics And Hydraulics?
Answer» Working FLUID: Pneumatics use air, Hydraulics use Oil Power: Pneumatic power less than hydraulic power Size: P components are smaller than H components Leakage: LEAKS in hydraulics cause fluid to be STICKING around the components. In pneumatics, air is LEAKED into the atmosphere. Pneumatics obtain power from an air compressor while hydraulics require a pump Air is compressible, hydraulic oil is not
