Definition: Actuators that use compressed air as their working fluid are pneumatic. Pneumatic actuator use pressurized air as an input and transform it into mechanical motion. Mainly, pneumatic actuators are devices that change the pressure obtained by compressing air into mechanical energy. Introduction An actuator is a device employed in a control system that acts on the control signal received from the controller and generates an equivalent signal to drive the plant. It is not necessary that the signal produced by the controller can drive the plant every time. This is why actuators are use. Operating Principle Pneumatic technology is…
