Rotary Actuators

Summary: Rotary actuators are devices that produce rotational motion.

Rotary actuators are devices that produce rotational motion. They are used in a wide array of applications where controlled angular movement is required. Unlike linear actuators, which produce straight-line motion, rotary actuators generate torque to turn or rotate objects. These actuators can be powered by various means, including electric motors, hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, or even manual force. Electric rotary actuators are particularly common in automation and robotics, offering precise control and programmability. Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators are often employed in heavy-duty applications requiring high torque, such as in industrial machinery and valve control. The output of a rotary actuator can be continuous rotation or limited angular movement, depending on the specific design and application. They play a crucial role in enabling precise and efficient rotational movements in diverse mechanical systems.
