Pneumatic System
Pneumatics is the use of compressed air to create viable energy
A Pneumatic system is a system that uses gas or pressurized air to operate the actuators, i.e. cylinders, motors or other mechanical parts.
Apneumaticsystem is a collection of interconnected components using compressed air to do work for automated equipment.
An air compressor reduces the volume of gas within a machine. Reducing the volume increases the air pressure because all the air molecules are compacted.
Pneumatics systems capture air, transport it around a circuit, and accomplish designated tasks with the generated energy.
The compressed air or pressurized gas is usually filtered and dried to protect the cylinders, actuators, tools and bladders performing the work.
