Hydraulics and pneumatics will be a familiar topic for you. Both work on the same principle, using Pascal's law to generate force or motion. The biggest difference between these two power transmission techniques is the medium used.Dec. Incompressible liquids are used for hydraulics, and compressed gases are used for pneumatics.
In general, hydraulic systems are used for precise control of large force applications, pneumatic systems for light and fast applications. Hydraulic-based components are made using steel, and pneumatic components are made using plastic and non-ferrous materials.
Hydraulic and pneumatic have similar function and working principle. The points given here will help you choose the right technique for your application.
Consider the environment of your application (temperature, pressure, etc.)
Hydraulics are more expensive.
Hydraulic uses less energy than pneumatic
The hydraulic equipment requires a power pack for installation, and the pneumatic equipment can be plugged into the main grid on a ring.
Suitable for hydraulic, high pressure applications
Hydraulics require more complex assemblies and repair process.
Now, in this article, we can discuss hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Most of the stationary or mobile equipment that you use in your daily life are hydraulic and pneumatic applications. It is not possible to mention every example. Some of the hydraulic and pneumatic applications used on a daily basis are listed below.
Hydraulic Applications
Industrial: Electrohydraulics is the mechanism used to control the industrial applications of hydraulics. A precise and fast response is an advantage of this. Plastic processing machinery, steel production and primary metal extraction applications, automatic production lines, machine tool industry, paper industries, loaders, crushers, presses, textile industry machinery, etc. industrial hydraulics can be given as an example.
Mobile Hydraulics : In mobile hydraulics, the hydraulic system is controlled manually. Cranes, excavators, backhoe, earthmoving equipment, etc. such as construction and construction equipment, tractors, irrigation system, material handling equipment, tunneling equipment, rail equipment and so on. these are some examples of mobile hydraulics.
Automobiles: Hydraulics has many interesting applications in the automobile industry. Most of the important work is done using the hydraulic principle. Power steering, shock absorbers, windshields and braking are common applications of hydraulics in vehicles. Two-pole elevators and four-pole elevators are used in the automobile industry to lift vehicles for service and inspection.
Maritime Applications: Hydraulics plays an important role in ensuring the balance and control of ships. Deck machinery such as rudder gears, bow and stern propellers, engine room maintenance systems including pumps and jacks, cranes, hoists, hatch covers, mooring drums and others are examples of hydraulics in the marine industry.
Aerospace Applications: Airplanes, rockets, spaceships, etc. it uses hydraulic systems for various applications. Aerospace industry, the adjustment of wings, retraction and extension of landing gear, opening/closing of doors, brakes, steering, etc. it uses hydraulics for.
Mining: Hydraulic fracturing is one of the advanced mining technologies used to extract unused gases/oils from under the soil surface. In this approach, a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and other chemical additives is passed into the cracks.
Pneumatic Applications
Automobile: Automobile industry, car tire removal, filling compressed air into the tire, vehicle painting, opening and closing doors, air brakes on heavy vehicles, etc. it uses pneumatic systems for.
Goods Transportation: Pneumatic is used to transport goods from the shelf to another place within the company. If the button is pressed, the cylinder will push the item on the shelf into the moving tape.
Industrial Applications: Material handling, drilling, sawing, filling, packaging, compression, shifting, etc. these are some of the general applications of the pneumatic system.
