1. Actuators and output devices

2. Actuators
An Actuator is an Output Device for the Conversion of Supply Energy into Useful Work. They Can Be Described Into Two Groups.
Linear Motion
Single Acting Cylinders
Double Acting Cylinders
Rotary Motion
Air Motor
Rotary Actuator

3. Actuators An Actuator Can be Controlled by the Following Methods:
Pneumatic
Hydraulic
Electrical

4. Linear motion
Single Acting Cylinders
Double Acting Cylinders

5. Rotary motion Rotary actuators - single and double acting
Pneumatic motor - continuous motion
Hydraulic motor - continuous motion
Electrical motor - continuous motion

33. Rodless cylinders

34. The rodless cylinder
Conventional Double Acting Cylinders require space to house the cylinder.
Plus space to carry out the work.
More effective use of the available space can be made by using Rodless Cylinders.
