What are the Types Of Actuator ??

  The actuator uses an electrical or mechanical device to convert the control signal into mechanical operation. They can be operated electrically, manually or by various fluids, such as hydraulics, air, etc. Automation companies of plants / industrial plants use actuators to operate valves, fluid couplings, dampers and other devices necessary for the control of industrial processes. Examples of actuators include electric motors, stepper motors, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic actuators, screw jacks and piezoelectric actuators. If you choose an actuator, it must have the performance characteristics that are mentioned below so that the control system can operate as designed. The performance characteristics of the main actuator include: • The actuator must operate consistently and must not be altered by the load. • There must be a robust industrial design that can operate in a variety of environments without affecting performance • Minimum periodic maintenance is required. •
