Actuators and output devices

Actuators An Actuator is an Output Device for the Conversion of Supply Energy into Useful Work. They Can Be Described Into Two Groups. • Linear Motion • Single Acting Cylinders • Double Acting Cylinders • Rotary Motion • Air Motor • Rotary Actuator

Actuators An Actuator Can be Controlled by the Following Methods: • Pneumatic • Hydraulic • Electrical

Linear motion • • Single Acting Cylinders Double Acting Cylinders

Rotary motion • • Rotary actuators - single and double acting Pneumatic motor - continuous motion Hydraulic motor - continuous motion Electrical motor - continuous motion

Rodless cylinders

The rodless cylinder Conventional Double Acting Cylinders require space to house the cylinder. Plus space to carry out the work. More effective use of the available space can be made by using Rodless Cylinders.
