A pneumatic actuator converts energy (in the form of compressed air, typically) into motion. The motion can be rotary or linear, depending on the type of actuator. Some types of pneumatic actuators include: * Tie rod cylinders * Rotary actuators * Grippers * Rodless actuators with magnetic linkage or rotary cyclinders * Rodless actuators with mechanical linkage * Pneumatic artificial muscles * Speciality actuators that combine rotary and linear motion--frequently used for clamping operations * Vacuum generators A Pneumatic actuator mainly consists of a piston, a cylinder, and valves or ports. The piston is covered by a diaphragm, or seal, which keeps the air in the upper portion of the cylinder, allowing air pressure to force the diaphragm downard, moving the piston underneath, which in turn moves the valve stem, which is linked to the internal parts of the actuator. Pneumatic actuators may only have one spot for a signal input, top or bottom, depending on action required. Valves require little pressure to operate and usually double or triple the input force. The larger the size of the piston, the larger the output pressure can be. Having a larger piston can also be good if air supply is low, allowing the same forces with less input. These pressures are large enough to crush object in the pipe. On 100 kPa input, you could lift a small car (upwards 1,000 lbs) easily, and this is only a basic, small pneumatic valve. However, the resulting forces required of the stem would be too great and cause the valve stem to fail. This pressure is transferred to the valve stem, which is hooked up to either the valve plug (see plug valve), butterfly valve etc. Larger forces are required in high pressure or high flow pipelines to allow the valve to overcome these forces, and allow it to move the valves moving parts to control the material flowing inside. Valves input pressure is the "control signal." This can come from a variety of measuring devices, and each different pressure is a different set point for a valve. A typical standard signal is 20-100 kPa. For example, a valve could be controlling the pressure in a vessel which has a constant out-flow, and a varied in-flow (varied by the actuator and valve). A pressure transmitter will monitor the pressure in the vessel and transmit a signal from 20-100 kPa. 20 kPa means there is no pressure, 100 kPa means there is full range pressure (can be varied by the transmiters calibration points). As the pressure rises in the vessel, the output of the transmitter rises, this increase in pressure is sent to the valve, which causes the valve to stroke downard, and start closing the valve, decreasing flow into the vessel, reducing the pressure in the vessel as excess pressure is evacuated through the out flow. This is called a direct acting process. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_actuator

Some actuator or devices are operated by compressed air. These devices are known as pneumatic components
One of the application of the control valve with positioner is that it is used to control the opening and closing of the actuator based on electric or pneumatic signals. The opening or closing of control valves is usually done automatically by electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic actuators.
Good question Usually motor operated valve used in big pipe lines sizes which it is need strong torque and for ON/OFF condition not to control the process, We can use rather than M.O.V pneumatic ON/OFF valve with piston actuator (Double Acting) but in this case the accessories it will cost you more because you need to provide pneumatic amplifier and big actuator depend on the pipe size. That is why better to use M.O.V the motor will rotate the gears and the gears will rotate the valve with low cost. Contact me for more clarification if there is.
Air. Pneumatic systems use compressed air.
A pneumatic actuator converts energy.The energy is used to make different types of motions.
If you are talking about a pneumatic solenoid valve the function of it is to control the air in and out flow in a pneumatic actuator.
The size is different. This depends on the air pressure in the pneumatic system.
I think it is a device that will turn pneumatic power (pressurised air) into rotation.
Provides air supply for a pneumatic actuator

actuator is a mechanism that will responds to hydraulic,pneumatic and electrical signal ,it is used to control the valve that to be in open or close condition.
There were many types of actuators that are used in robotics, some of which are hydraulic actuator, ultra-piezoelectric, pneumatic actuator and piezoelectric. The actuator is an electromechanical device that converts energy.
a Three Way Solenoid valve is required to operate a double acting Pneumatic Actuator , depending of the orientation of the Actuator could operate as a Fail to open or Fail to Close .
positioners are used to control the opening or closing of the actuator based on Electric , or pneumatic signals
Some actuator or devices are operated by compressed air. These devices are known as pneumatic components
It uses compressed air to force a valve assembly to move, creating kinetic energy.
