What are the advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic tools?

The advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic tools are as follows:
Advantages:
• Small and light weight: pneumatic tools are smaller and lighter than power tools at the same output power.
• No heat for long working hours: pneumatic tools are suitable for long working hours without heat.
• Strong water resistance: Although air tools are harmful after soaking in water, they will not produce electrical sparks like power tools, causing harm.
• Adapt to harsh environments: Air tools can use internal combustion engine air pumps to adapt to a variety of poor or harsh environments.
• Economic performance: The initial investment in pneumatic tools requires the establishment of air pressure pipeline equipment, but long-term use in energy consumption and tool maintenance costs are low.

• Air as a medium: air as a pneumatic transmission of the working medium, inexhaustible, after use directly into the atmosphere, will not pollute the environment.
• Good working environment adaptability: In flammable, explosive, dusty, radiation, strong magnetic, vibration, impact and other harsh environment, the pneumatic transmission system is safe and reliable.
• Rapid pneumatic control action: The pneumatic control response is fast, and the required pressure and speed can be reached in a short time.
• Simple structure, easy to process: pneumatic components simple structure, easy to process, long service life, high reliability, easy to achieve standardization, serialization, generalization.
Cons:
• Poor stability: Due to the large compressibility of the air, the operating speed of the cylinder is easy to change with the change of the applied load, and the stability is poor, which has a greater impact on the position and speed control.
• Small output force: the pressure level of the pneumatic system is not high, and the total output force is not large.
• Need lubrication: The working medium (air) is not lubricated, and measures must be taken in the system to lubricate the oil.
• Large noise: air tools are noisy and generally need to be installed
