Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are contractile or extensional devices operated by pressurized air filling a pneumatic bladder. In an approximation of human muscles, PAMs are usually grouped in pairs: one agonist and one antagonist. PAMs were first developed (under the name of McKibben Artificial Muscles) in
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) operate by filling a pneumatic bladder with pressurized air. Upon applying gas pressure to the bladder, isotropic volume expansion occurs, but is confined by braided wires that encircle the bladder, translating the volume expansion to a linear contraction along the axis of the actuator.
A pneumatic butterfly valve. Pneumatic systems in fixed installations, such as factories, use compressed air because a sustainable supply can be made by compressing atmospheric air. [citation needed] The air usually has moisture removed, and a small quantity of oil is added at the compressor to prevent corrosion and lubricate mechanical components.
Pneumatic actuator operating a valve through a rack-and-pinion mechanism. [7] A pneumatic actuator is similar to a hydraulic one but uses a gas (usually air) instead of a liquid. [8] [9] Compared to hydraulic actuators, pneumatic ones are less complicated because they do not need pipes for the return and recycling of the working fluid. On the ...

A robotic leg powered by air muscles. Actuators are the "muscles" of a robot, the parts which convert stored energy into movement. [17] By far the most popular actuators are electric motors that rotate a wheel or gear, and linear actuators that control industrial robots in factories.
The Barker lever is a pneumatic system which multiplies the force of a finger on the key of a tracker pipe organ.It employs the wind pressure of the organ to inflate small bellows called "pneumatics" to overcome the resistance of the pallets in the organ's wind-chest.
