‌Single Acting Pneumatic Actuator: Working Principle, Advantages, And Applications

#1
1. Introduction‌
A ‌single-acting pneumatic actuator‌ is a mechanical device that converts compressed air energy into linear or rotary motion in ‌one direction‌, relying on an internal spring or external force to return to its original position. These actuators are widely used in applications where simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and fail-safe operation are critical.
This article explores the ‌working principle, advantages, disadvantages, and key applications‌ of single-acting pneumatic actuators, along with a comparison to double-acting models.
