Release time:2025-05-05 21:53:56

    A pneumatic actuator is a device that uses compressed air to create mechanical motion. It is widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, automation, and robotics, for controlling or driving machinery and processes. Pneumatic actuators are essential components in systems where precise control of motion and force is required, and they offer several advantages over other types of actuators like electric or hydraulic ones. This article explores the principles, applications, and benefits of pneumatic actuators.

    The core function of a pneumatic actuator is to convert the energy from compressed air into mechanical motion. These actuators typically consist of a cylinder or piston, a source of compressed air, and a control system. The process begins when compressed air is introduced into the cylinder, causing the piston to move. The motion can either be linear or rotary, depending on the design of the actuator.
