Pneumatic actuators are essential components in various industrial systems, offering a reliable means of converting compressed air into mechanical motion. Their wide application and efficiency make them a key technology in automation and control systems.
At the core of a pneumatic actuator's function is its ability to harness compressed air to produce linear or rotary motion. This is achieved through the interplay of air pressure and mechanical components, often a piston or a diaphragm, which moves in response to changes in air pressure. This motion can be used to drive a variety of mechanical systems, from simple valves to complex robotic arms.
