Rotary Hydraulic-Pneumatic Actuator
Item Name Code (INC) 37318
 |
A self-contained power transmitting device designed to convert hydraulic or pneumatic force into controlled mechanical force in the form of torque (rotational mechanical movement limited to less than 360 degrees). The linear motion of the hydraulically or pneumatically operated power piston and shaft is converted to rotary motion in the output shaft through such linkage as rack and pinion, pin and yoke, a connecting link, and the like. Excludes hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders and screwjacks.
Additional Information for Rotary Hydraulic-Pneumatic Actuator
A rotary hydraulic-pneumatic actuator is a type of actuator that converts hydraulic or pneumatic energy into rotary motion. It is commonly used in various industrial applications to control the movement of valves, dampers, and other rotating equipment.
The actuator consists of a cylinder, piston, and a rotary shaft. When hydraulic or pneumatic pressure is applied to the cylinder, it creates a force that pushes the piston, which in turn rotates the shaft. This rotational motion can be used to open or close valves, adjust the position of dampers, or control the movement of other rotating components.
Rotary hydraulic-pneumatic actuators are preferred in certain applications due to their high torque output, compact design, and ability to operate in harsh environments. They are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, and water treatment.
These actuators can be controlled manually or through automated systems using hydraulic or pneumatic control valves. They offer precise and reliable control over the movement of rotating equipment, making them an essential component in many industrial processes.
