SYNOPSIS
Provide knowledge and understanding to P&H circuits, equipment and design along with usage in the industrial sector.
PNEUMATIC HISTORY
Origins 1st century, when ancient Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria wrote about his inventions powered by steam or wind. However, none of his discussions revealed thoughts of using the devices for transporting objects.
-German physicist Otto von Guericke (1602 to 1686) went a little further. He invented the vacuum pump,
PNEUMATIC HISTORY
Capsule Transportation With the invention of the capsule in 1886, people now had a container to put items in to transport them from place to place. People in Victorian England were the first known to use capsule pipelines to transmit telegrams from one telegraph station to another.
Postal Systems
Scottish engineer William Murdoch (1754 to 1839) was the first to apply pneumatics to postal services, but there is little evidence that he went further than suggesting the transmission of letters and packages through pneumatic tubes. American merchant John Wanamaker (1838 to 1922) installed a pneumatic system in the United States Post Office.
PNEUMATIC HISTORY
Public Transportation Pneumatics was also applied to public transportation. A notable example is the efforts of American inventor Alfred Beach (1826 to 1896). In 1867, Beach demonstrated a pipe able to transport a handful of passengers, giving birth to the pneumatic subway line. However, the line only lasted for a few months, terminated after Beach was unable to gain permission to extend the distance of the subway.
PNEUMATIC HISTORY
Today Pneumatics is neither in wide use today, nor is it exciting curiosity. That can be credited to ever-advancing technology. However, its lasting mark is the tube terminals at bank drivethroughs.

GENERAL APPLICATION
Packaging Filling Metering Locking Driving axes Door or chute control Transfer of material and etc.
Air is available practically everywhere in unlimited quantities. Air can be easily transport in pipelines, even over large distance.
Compressed air can be stored in a reservoir and removed as required. In addition, the reservoir can be transportable.
Compressed air is relatively insensitivity to temperature fluctuations. This ensure reliable operation, even under extreme conditions.
Unlubricated exhausted air is clean. Any unlubricated air which escapes through leaking pipes does not cause contamination. Simple construction and relatively inexpensive. Very fast working medium and high working speed. Can be loaded to the point of stopping and therefore overload safe.
Required good preparation Possible to achieve uniform and constant speeds Economical to certain force requirements 6-7 bar. The exhaust air is loud.
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR THE CONTROL SECTION Reliability of components Sensitivity to environment Ease of maintenance Switching time of components Signal speed Space Service life Modification of the control system Training
