Employing fluid power to achieve mechanical motion can be implemented via hydraulics using uncompressible liquids or via pneumatics using compressible gasses; typically, air. The latter provides several distinct advantages, making it a popular choice for many mechanical applications. Indeed, this isn’t a recent development, as using pressurized air for industrial applications and automated machinery has a history extending back well over 100 years.
