What is the difference between a valve and 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.
What type of actuators are used in robotics?
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.
What is the function of a pneumatic actuator?
A pneumatic actuator converts energy.The energy is used to make different types of motions.
A hydraulic actuator can move more precisely than a pneumatic actuator can because?
Don't quote me on this :)Hydraulic actuators work with liquids (usually oil, think hydraulic pistons in earth-moving equipment), pneumatic actuators work with a gas. By definition, a gas is compressible, a liquid is not. In physics, both gasses and liquids can be fluids.In very basic principle, an actuator works by forcing or a fluid into or removing a fluid from one end of a piston and thereby causing either pressure or a vacuum, causing the piston to move out or in, respectively. When the fluid is a gas, the gas will compress or expand a bit before it starts to move the piston and hence the actuator, introducing a lag and imprecision between when the fluid is moved and when the actuator moves. A liquid has a constant volume (it can't be compressed or expanded) and does not have this effect. hence, hydraulic actuators are more precise than pneumatic ones. :)My credibility: 1st year engineering student at UKZN, RSA.

What is the function of pneumatic valves?
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.
What is the size of a pneumatic actuator?
The size is different. This depends on the air pressure in the pneumatic system.
What are the Application of control valve with positioner?
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.
What is pneumatic rotary actuator?
I think it is a device that will turn pneumatic power (pressurised air) into rotation.
How does an electrohydraulic actuator work?
An electrohydraulic actuator converts electrical energy into hydraulic energy to produce mechanical motion. It consists of an electric motor that drives a hydraulic pump, which pressurizes hydraulic fluid. This pressurized fluid then moves a piston within a cylinder, resulting in linear or rotational motion. The actuator's performance can be precisely controlled by varying the motor's speed and the flow of hydraulic fluid, allowing for accurate positioning and force application.
What is a pneumercator?
Provides air supply for a pneumatic actuator
How is hydraulic system better than pneumatic system with a brief disicussion?
Difficult question to answer without context. Key thing to understand is a pneumatic system uses a compressor, whereas a hydraulic system uses a pump. Hydraulic fluid is essentially incompressible, whereas compressed air will fill any volume. Ask yourself: What is my pneumatic/hydraulic system supposed to do? How fast should it react and what horsepower is available to drive my compressor/pump? What force do I need at my actuator/motor or whatever the system is expected to power? Generally, I think pneumatic systems can react more quickly but power density is lower, so if the load is very high a hydraulic system might be better. A typical shop pneumatic system might only operate at 50psi, whereas a hydraulic system can operate at 3000psi. Finally, it's also worth thinking about system safety: if a pneumatic component fails, there will be an explosive decompression, but if a hydraulic component fails, it will leak but will not explode because hydraulic fluid does not store energy, it only transmits it.
Is an actuator and a actuator motor the same thing?
An actuator and an actuator motor are related but not exactly the same thing. An actuator is a broader term that refers to a device that converts energy into motion to perform a specific action, which can include various types of mechanisms like hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric systems. An actuator motor, on the other hand, specifically refers to an electric motor used as the driving force for the actuator, typically converting electrical energy into mechanical motion.
