Pneumatic Actuators

A pneumatic actuator is a device that converts air pressure into mechanical motion. It is often used to operate valves, switches and other mechanical devices. Pneumatic actuators are often preferred over other actuator types because they are simple, reliable and easy to maintain. They are also inexpensive and can generate high forces with low air pressure. Pneumatic actuators come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be used in many different applications. A pneumatic actuator is a mechanical device used to control and move a mechanical component or system using compressed gas, typically compressed air. It converts energy from compressed gas into mechanical motion, allowing it to perform a variety of tasks such as opening and closing valves, moving mechanical parts, or providing linear or rotary motion for a wide variety of industrial, commercial and consumer applications. Pneumatic actuators are often used where precise control, high force and fast response are required.
