I don’t know. Pneumatics involve a lot more friction than a digital system would. That regular maintenance would probably involve replacing things as they were worn down.

The equipment I'm working with seems fine for a few million cycles and a couple of decades of use.

They are also less sensitive to heat than electrolytic capacitors.
