ELEMENT IN PNEUMATIC WORKING SYSTEM

Introduction to Actuator

WHAT is
ACTUATOR ?
Actuator is

for the
output devices
conversion
of supply energy into
usefull work

The output signal is controlled by the controlled system, and the

actuator responds to the control signals via the control element.

DISVANTAGES

Limited conditions
use of compressed
air is beneficial up to
the definite values
of pressure
Difficulties
Impossibility
in performance
to receive uniform
at slow speed
and constant speed of
the working bodies
movement
Air is not stable to
compress rather than
hydraulic oil
Compressed air
requires good
preparation
