pneumatic actuator

A pneumatic actuator is a device that uses compressed air to generate motion or force, typically to move or control mechanical systems. It functions by allowing compressed air to enter a cylinder, creating pressure that pushes a piston, which in turn moves a connected component such as a valve, door, or machine part. Pneumatic actuators are valued for their rapid response, reliability, and simplicity, making them common in industrial automation for tasks like opening valves or moving equipment. They are clean, safe, and cost-effective solutions for converting compressed air energy into controlled mechanical motion.
