This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Engines have been using pneumatic actuators to move loads for decades. They are fast, up to 0.5 sec/stroke; powerful, ...

Any aviation buff is well aware of the Wright Brothers’ role in the history of flight. But it’s likely that many can’t identify the Wright’s seminal contribution: aerodynamic control. When their plane ...

Researchers have proposed process flow guides for 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine ...

Cowan Dynamics, a leading provider of actuation and process control solutions for industrial and manufacturing clients worldwide, launches its AS Series spring return pneumatic valve actuator. The ...

When we think of pneumatic actuators, we typically consider the standard varieties of pneumatic cylinder, capable of linear motion. These can be referred to as “hard” actuators, made of rigid ...

The cascading bypass system is perhaps the most common design for managing high-pressure steam in a combined-cycle plant. It is the hot reheat (HRH) bypass valve actuator that defines the valve’s ...
