Description
An actuator is a component in a machine responsible for moving or controlling a system by converting energy (electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic) into mechanical force. Often called a “mover,” it acts as the muscle of a system, translating control signals into physical, controlled motion. Common types include linear and rotary actuators used in robotics, manufacturing, and automotive parts
Input: Receives low-energy signals (current, air, fluid pressure).
Output: Produces high-energy physical motion (force, torque, displacement).
Types: Electric, Hydraulic, and Pneumatic
