Valve actuators: what are they?

Valve actuators adjust valves using an external power source. Types include electric, pneumatic, electro-hydraulic, hydraulic, and manual. They are used in industrial and home applications. Fail-safe methods are incorporated for hazardous environments. Valve actuators are devices that attach to valves. The actuators, driven by an external power source, adjust the valves to the desired position. […]

Types of small actuators?

Actuators are essential in daily life for remote activation of devices. They come in various sizes, shapes, and power sources, with solenoids being the most popular. Small actuators are used for light loads and can be powered by electric motors, compressed gas, or oil. They differ little from heavy-duty actuators but have lower output capabilities. […]

What are pneumatic actuators? (31 characters)

Pneumatic actuators use compressed gas to create mechanical energy for machinery. Types include single/double acting cylinders, rotary actuators, and diaphragm actuators. Rodless models operate at a shorter length and use magnets, bands, or cables for control. Pneumatic actuators are mechanisms that convert the potential energy of a compressed gas, most frequently air, into mechanical energy […]
