Pneumatic Actuators

• Operation: Utilize compressed air to move a piston or diaphragm, converting air pressure into mechanical motion.

• Advantages:

  • Fast and reliable operation.

  • Cost-effective for various applications.

  • Suitable for hazardous environments when explosion-proof models are used.

• Common Applications: Operate butterfly valves, rotary valves, and dampers in industries like food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

• Example:  pneumatic rotary vane actuators are known for their durability and reliability in silo applications
