How do pneumatics technologies work? Pneumatics is a fluid power technology similar to hydraulics in that it transmits force through a pressurized medium to create useful work. Download this Tech Toolbox to learn more!
Pneumatic technology differs from hydraulics in every critical fashion — compressibility. To be fair, hydraulic oil compresses as well, but only 0.4 percent every thousand psi or so. However, in the simplest explanation, air will compress to half its volume when subjected to double the pressure.
