Pneumatics is the when you use compressed air to move a pistion, a pistion could be virtually many things. ---- It is just like a hydraulic system but instead of a fluid you use air as the working fluid.

Pneumatics is a method to transfer energy from one point to another using actuators which which are driven by fluids under pressure. Pneumatics restricts itself to gaseous fluids while hyraulics uses liquids to transfer the energy. The transferring of energy in pneumatics such as pumping air into a pneumatic cylinder must be controlled. You can control the pressure by manually opening a valve, automaticall by detecting its pressure, or by sending an electrical signal. The cotrol of pneumatic components by elecrical impulses is known as electropneumatics. This science is fast expanding as it can make use of all electronic developments such as PLCs and PCs. However electropneumatics has restrictions as it cannot be used in places where electricity cannot be used such as gas factories,etc. jacob m

Pneumatics are good for lots of things. Here is a brief explanation of on one use. A good example for pneumatics might be a cap gun, where you put put in the caps and pull the trigger. The trigger makes the caps come out. Great pressure is applied to the caps, which gives them great power and energy when they leave the gun. That is why the cap guns fire so hard.

hydraulics is the use of liquids particularly hydraulic oils as a medium to create force

where as pneumatics also used air.

It is all about air: more specifically, devices which are operated by pressurised air.
