Hydraulics uses liquids, and Pneumatics uses air to transmit power. ⚙️💨
Hydraulics and Pneumatics are branches of fluid power used to transmit energy. Hydraulics uses pressurized liquids (like oil) for high-power applications, while Pneumatics uses compressed air for lightweight, fast operations. ⚙️💨🔧
