Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems – Understanding The Similarities & Differences

Posted on by Hydrastar

Hydraulic and pneumatic systems both use kinetic motion to move heavy loads. Hydraulics use confined water or oil, and pneumatics use a confined gas, typically air, to generate kinetic motion to drive cylinders and rams. Motion and pressure are converted and multiplied through confinement and precise direction into an intense push. While the two processes […]
