Pneumatic actuators are devices that utilize compressed air to create mechanical motion. They are widely used in various industries due to their reliability, speed, and simplicity. This article will explore the function, applications, and advantages of pneumatic actuators, providing a comprehensive overview of this essential technology.

    Functionality of Pneumatic Actuators

    At its core, a pneumatic actuator converts the energy from compressed air into motion. The basic components of a pneumatic actuator include a cylinder, a piston, and control valves. When compressed air is introduced into the cylinder, it pushes the piston, creating linear or rotary motion depending on the design of the actuator.
