A rotary actuator is an actuator that produces a rotary motion or torque. The simplest actuator is purely mechanical, where linear motion in one direction gives rise to rotation. The most common actuators are electrically powered; others may be powered pneumatically or hydraulically , or use energy stored in springs .
Electric actuator (blue cylinder) on a valve in a power plant. A black handwheel is visible on the actuator, which allows manual positioning of the valve. The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator.
Electric rotary actuators use a rotary motor to turn the target part over a certain angle. [11] Rotary actuators can have up to a rotation of 360 degrees. This allows it to differ from a linear motor as the linear is bound to a set distance compared to the rotary motor.
Festo is known for making moving robots that move like animals, such as the seagull-like SmartBird, jellyfish, butterflies and the BionicKangaroo. [2] In 2018 they also added a flying fox and a rolling spider to the list. [3] Festo calls their Bionic Flying Fox an “ultra-lightweight flying object with intelligent kinematics.” [citation needed]
This is the steering actuator of a large robot vehicle. Industrial servomotors and gearboxes, with standardised flange mountings for interchangeability. A servomotor (or servo motor or simply servo) [1] is a rotary or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration in a mechanical system.
