1. Actuators

1.1 Function and principles

Pneumatic actuators transform pneumatic power (pressure p (Pa), mass flow q; m (kg/s)) into mechanical power (force F (N), velocity v (m/s)) through linear or rotary motion (figure 1 ).

Manufacturers offer a wide range of models to meet user requirements.

Pneumatic actuators are built in a wide variety of sizes and types and are classified according to the mode of operation on which their design depends (figure 2 ):...
