Simplified Pneumatic Actuator Design and Operation

Pneumatic Actuator Design and Operation

A simplified Pneumatic Actuator diagram of a pneumatic actuator is shown in Figure F1. It operates by a combination of force created by air and spring force. The actuator positions a control valve by transmitting its motion through the stem.
