The study of compressed air is known as pneumatics. It involves the use of pressurized air to generate mechanical motion for various applications, such as power tools, machinery automation, and transportation systems. Pneumatics is commonly used in industries where a clean and cost-effective power source is needed.
Pneumatics is generally faster than hydraulics because air is compressible, allowing for quicker response times and faster movement of components. In contrast, hydraulics use incompressible fluid which leads to slower response times due to the fluid flowing through smaller openings and restrictions within the system.
Both pneumatics and hydraulics have their own advantages and disadvantages. Pneumatics are generally faster and more responsive, but hydraulics can handle higher loads and pressures. The choice between the two depends on the specific application requirements and constraints.
Gases used in pneumatics should be non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally friendly. They should also have low moisture content to prevent corrosion and be easily compressible to allow for energy-efficient operation of pneumatic systems. Additionally, gases used in pneumatics should have consistent properties to ensure reliable performance in various temperature and pressure conditions.
Constant acceleration and no air resistance are the two characteristics of a free-falling object.
They are gases, usually air.
In a nutshell, pneumatics is a means whereby signals and energy are transmitted, controlled and distributed using pressurized air as the medium. Pneumatics can be effectively combined with other technologies through the use of sensors, transducers and microprocessors

One uses a liquid, one uses air. not the same
oil is slightly compressible 0.5 % at 70 bar. but air is compressible. so to get the required pressure pneumatics require more energy source than hydraulics also there are some limitations for pneumatics in terms of force.

the branch of physics that deals with the mechanical properties of air and other gases.
Speed​​. Rapid transfer of power. Cheap air. The system is simple.
My thoughts go like this...(from watching 'Scrapheap Challenge"0 plus a little basic knowledge of physics. 1/ Pneumatics involve the movement of pistons and what not via the medium of compressed air or air under pressure. 2/ Hydraulics involve the movement of pistons and what not via the medium of compressed fluids or fluid under pressure. 3/ Fluid is denser than gas (compressed air). I believe hydraulics can handle far heavier loads than pneumatics. Pneumatics would appear to use a lighter more flexible medium than hydraulics. In answer to your question, I believe hydraulics would be far more effective at manipulating heavy loads versus pneumatics. However, pneumatics would be a more flexible system than hydraulics. Hows that?
Some actuator or devices are operated by compressed air. These devices are known as pneumatic components
Pneumatic has a carbide industry. Many things can be done with air pressure and a remote control.
