Say “thank you” to a pneumatic actuator next time you enjoy a craft beer. Or eat a watermelon. Or open a can of paint. Or interact with any of a number of objects, from cars to pills, in your daily ...

Scientists at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, have proposed an integrated approach targeting the design and fabrication of pneumatic soft actuators in a single casting step. In their solution, ...

(A) FEA-based numerical simulation to optimize the actuator’s geometry and actuation parameters. (B) Using FFF technology, the molds are printed in rigid material and the sacrificial cores are in a ...

Pneumatic control systems are used in various applications, including: A single acting cylinder (SAC) is a type of pneumatic actuator that produces force and movement in one direction only. It has a ...

Process automation is a necessity in different industries. The utilization of valves implies that process engineers must select the most suitable actuation devices. The actuator should facilitate ...
