Introduction

Pneumatic actuators, also known as air actuators, are actuators that use stored compressed air, often compressed to an energy level of 7 to 10 bar, for operation. They are considered linear actuators, since the motion obtained is usually linear, although some actuators are designed to achieve non-linear motion or a combination of motion types.In many cases pneumatic actuators are used as the advancing power source in pneumatic loops. These actuators are usually characterised by their force and/or intellectual control capabilities.

Basic Principles and Differentiation

Pneumatic actuators come in two varieties: single-acting and double-acting.Single-acting actuators are actuated by the release of stored energy from a spring or other mechanism. This type of actuator is limited in range of motion and speed as the spring must be cocked and released to generate repeatable motion, similarly to a hammer.In double-acting actuators, the compressed air is used to alternately actuate the actuator in two directions, as required by the application. The compressed air, of course, is the source of energy, but the actuator usually contains additional energy-storing components such as springs to improve responsiveness and optimize the motion.

Categories

Pneumatic actuators can be divided into three broad categories.The first category is pneumatic cylinders, which are usually powered by the energy of compressed air applied to both sides of a piston or a diaphragm. These actuators are capable of delivering high levels of force and torque, making them suitable for moveable applications requiring large amount of power.The second type of actuator is the valve actuator. These are used to control the flow of fluid or gas, and require only a small amount of energy in order to operate. They come in many varieties, with the most common being diaphragm type valves, which are often used in hydraulic systems.The third type of actuator are air operated clutches and brakes. These are used to provide an adjustable control of the start and stop of the motion of an object, and can be used in conjunction with a pneumatic cylinder to provide more precise control.

Applications and Uses

Pneumatic actuators are used in a wide variety of industries and applications. They are popularly used in the automotive industry, where they are used for controlling the flow of air through the engine and exhaust systems. Pneumatic actuators are also widely used in the aerospace and defense industry, where they are used for actuation of flight controls, deceleration systems, and other tasks.Pneumatic actuators are also widely used in machine tools and industrial robots. The valves in machine tools are usually powered by air, as this provides a safer and easier method of precise control over the machine operation. Similarly, industrial robots will often be powered by air actuators in order to provide repeatable motion and control.

Conclusion

Pneumatic actuators provide an efficient and cost-effective way to provide motion and control in a range of industrial and commercial applications. They come in many types, from linear actuators to application specific solutions, offering the flexibility, power, and accuracy necessary for any task. Pneumatic actuators are reliable, easy to use, and relatively low-cost, making them one of the most popular choices in industrial automation.
