    The document discusses different types of actuators used in industrial automation. It describes double acting cylinders which use a single piston with two opposing rods so that as one rod extends, the other retracts, allowing reciprocal work. Double acting cylinders find applications in automotive, advanced machining, and CNC machines. The document also covers rotary actuators which are limited to less than 360 degrees rotation in both directions and provide the same torque in both directions, with applications in military, petrochemical, and construction industries. It was presented by Dr. Ahmed Hewidy as part of a lecture on industrial automation.

    Difference between single and double
    acting cylinder actuators
    * Double rod cylinders operate with a single
    piston and two opposing rods. As one rod
    extends, the other rod retracts. As a result, the
    two ends can do reciprocal work in positioning
    or in moving with equal force, equal stroke
    length and equal speed.

    • Applications:-
    automotive
    Advanced machining
    CNC machines
    * Limited angle in both directions.
    * Maximum angle always smaller than 360°
    * The same torque in both directions.

    Applications:-
    *military applications
    * petrochemical industry
    * Civil constriction
