The rotary actuator is used to pivot a joint when conventional cylinder mounting is not practical due to weight, space or motion requirements. Some applications include firefighting vehicles, excavators and large cranes though there can be many other uses. They typically will simplify vehicle steering.

How does piston type rotary actuator works?

If you are speaking of the 13B N/A, the pistons that actuate the 6th port sleeves operate via vacuum from the "Pick up Tube" on the catalytic converter on the Exhaust piping. Either you have a rotary engine or a piston engine.

What type of rotator forces the valve to rotate?

A rotary actuator is the type of device that forces a valve to rotate. It converts energy—typically pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric—into rotary motion, enabling the valve to open or close. This mechanism ensures precise control over the flow of fluids within various systems.
