Advantages Advantages

low component cost

zero risk of explosion
Big transmitted power with
Clean (which is important

exact positioning
etc.).

The working speed is high.

Disadvantages Disadvantages

the compressed air has to be

conditioned, as it can cause wear of
the pneumatic mechanical elements.
