How do pneumatic systems work?

Pneumatic systems are a type of technology that uses compressed air or gas to transmit power and control the movement of various mechanical processes. These systems typically consist of a compressor, valves, actuators, and an air reservoir. The compressor compresses ambient air, which is stored in the reservoir. When the pneumatic system is activated, valves are opened, allowing the compressed air to flow into the actuators. The pressure of the air forces the actuators to move, which in turn performs a specific task. By adjusting the valves and controlling the airflow, pneumatic systems can be used for countless applications such as operating machinery, moving objects, and controlling various industrial processes with precision and efficiency.
