Available in many configurations, pneumatic actuators remain essential workhorses of machine motion and increasingly are being made adaptable to the IIoT plant floor
Keeping an assembly process simple is always a smart approach to manufacturing any product. And one of the simplest ways to implement linear or rotary motion into an assembly process is with a pneumatic actuator.
“Simple setup and a lower cost are two of the main benefits of pneumatic actuators compared to electric and hydraulic ones,” notes Carey Webster, engineered solutions manager at PHD Inc. “Setup is also quick and involves bolting the actuator down and connecting the air lines to the fittings.”
