Pneumatic actuators are an essential part of various industrial processes, providing efficient and reliable motion control using compressed air. These devices convert the energy stored in compressed air into mechanical motion, typically in the form of linear or rotary movement. The ability to control forces precisely makes pneumatic actuators highly valuable in a wide range of applications, from manufacturing to automation.

    Key Components of Pneumatic Actuators

    A pneumatic actuator generally consists of a few critical components: the cylinder, piston, and seals. The cylinder is the outer casing that holds the compressed air, while the piston inside the cylinder moves when air pressure is applied. The piston is connected to a rod, which transmits the motion to the desired load or mechanism.
