What is a rotary actuator

A rotary actuator is a device that creates a rotary movement by using a shaft to control the speed and rotation of attached equipment, such as valves. Rotary actuators can produce either continuous rotation or movement to a fixed position, depending on what application they are servicing. The most common rotary actuators are electrically powered but you can also get pneumatically or hydraulically powered devices.

Rotary actuator applications

Rotary actuator applications can range from air core gauges to valve actuators that operate a pipeline and process valves. Rotary actuators are used in a wide variety of process applications including medical & laboratory, food & beverage and almost any application that requires a rotary motion.

Frequently asked questions

Rotary actuator working principle

Rotary actuators work by converting compressed air into an oscillating rotary motion. This then allows for either a continuous rotation or movement to a fixed position, depending on what application the actuator is servicing.
