Differences in Symbols
Cylinders and other actuators also differ with respect to supply and direction
arrows.
Hydraulic Filter
Pneumatic Filter
Differences in Symbols
Hydraulic valves have a crossover to Tank.
Differences in Medium
Hydraulic Oil is Hygroscopic and can be easily Oxidised at high temperatures.
Hydraulic Fluid is viscous and can be various types with varying
Viscosities including:
Flame Retardant
Mineral Oil
Synthetic Oil
Water Glycol
Air can hold Moisture which can turn into Condensation at the Dew Point.
The pneumatic components must remove the Condensation from
the air and provide Lubrication.
Air is safe under a wide range of operating temperatures.

Differences in Construction
Production
The hydraulic Power
Pack contains the
Pump,
Tank
(Reservoir), Filters
and commonly a
Relief
Valve
for
protection of the
system. The unit is
usually local to the
machine that is using
it. Hydraulic pumps
are usually Positive
Displacement
devices
which
means they displace
all the oils they
pump.
The
Pneumatic
Compressor
installation usually
includes a Dryer
and Receiver. The
unit
is
usually
remote from the
machine that is
using it.

Hoses, Pipes and Connectors
Hydraulic hoses and
connectors are heavily
constructed to hold the
higher
pressures.
Rubber hoses are
steel
Reinforced
(Braided)
to
Strengthen them.

Differences in Application
Hydraulic systems are
used where large forces
are required such as in
earth moving equipment,
heavy cutting, Pressing
and Clamping
