Pneumatic actuators are reliant on the presence of some form of pressurised gas or compressed air entering a chamber where pressure is built up. Once this exceeds the required pressure levels in contrast to the atmospheric pressure outside of the chamber, it creates a controlled kinetic movement of a piston or gear which can be directed in either a straight or circular mechanical motion.
Pneumatic actuators are well suited to a wide variety of application types, serving across many different industry areas. Some of the most common applications include :
Combustible automobile engines
Air compressors
Packaging & production machinery
Railway application
Aviation.
