Pneumatic circuit

Pneumatic circuit

A pneumatic circuit is an interconnected set of components that convert compressed gas (usually air) into mechanical work. In the normal sense of the term, the circuit must include a compressor or compressor-fed tank.

* Active components
** Compressor
* Transmission lines
** Air tank
** Pneumatic hoses
** Open atmosphere (for returning the spent gas to the compressor)
** Valves
* Passive components
** Pneumatic cylinders

The following devices operate using compressed gases, but are not normally thought of as being pneumatic circuits:

* Guns
* Rockets
* Refrigerators
* Internal combustion engines
* Scuba sets

ee also

*Circuit theory
*Fluidics
