    Pneumatics systems use compressed air to create mechanical motion as an efficient alternative to electric motors or electromagnets. They typically include an air compressor to store and release compressed air under electric control. Common applications include pneumatic valves, filters, regulators, tubing, and rotary actuators in industrial automation systems. While pneumatics require minimal maintenance and initial costs, they can be louder, less durable, and more difficult to control than electric systems due to air compressibility and moisture accumulation issues. Some systems also use hazardous chemicals that could pollute the environment if accidentally released.

    Discussion

    1. The application of basic pneumatics in industry.

    Pneumatics system is basically a method to turn electricity into mechanical motion


    using compressed gasses instead of motors or electromagnets. For many applications,
    this is much more efficient and practical. Systems typically include an air compressor,
    which stores compressed air in a cylinder and release it under electric control. The
    compressed gas is almost always ordinary air because it is free and non- toxic. Often
    the air is slightly modified by taking out some of the water vapor and adding a small
    amount of atomized oil to make the gas more machine friendly.

    The application that used pneumatics system on it were pneumatics valves island, it is
    designed to provide maximum flow rate and save energy. Next, filter regulator that use
    to clean dry air and to operate reliably. There are many type of filter regulator that using
    pneumatics principles such as, combination FRL (filter regulator lubricators), dryers
    and nozzles. Pneumatics system also used in fitting and tubing. It is provide leak-free,
    efficient, easy to use system to supply air to industrial automations system. Lastly,
    pneumatics principles also used in rotary actuators.

    2. The advantages and disadvantages of pneumatics system

    The advantages of pneumatics system is pneumatics system require air to operate successfully.
    as the result, air being extremely abundant, and free and it easy to restock the system. After
    that, the initial cost of manufacturing a pneumatics device is a minimal as a result of the low
    cost design materials. Next, as the result of the system being powered solely by air, the
    the pneumatics device typically requires limited cleaning. Lastly, in order for system
    to properly operate it must be lubricated with oil consistently but they have less
    plumbing.

    The disadvantages of pneumatics system were, air is compressible gas, which make
    control and speed in a pneumatics system more difficult. After that, pneumatics system
    are less durable because due to moisture accumulation the system can freeze up. Next,
    pneumatics system are the loudest type of design that power machines. Actuators that
    run the system are the sources of the noise and are sometimes placed in a separate room
    to limit sound pollution. Lastly, sometimes pneumatics systems use hazardous
    chemicals in their design. This can result in accidental launches of chemicals into the
    air which can be harmful to surrounding environment.
