What is pneumatics?

Pneumatics is a technology that uses pressurized gas, typically air, to transmit and control power. It is commonly used in automated machinery, pneumatic tools (like drills and nail guns), braking systems in vehicles, and other applications where linear or rotary motion is needed. Pneumatic systems are favored for their simplicity, reliability, and ability to generate significant force.
