Scotch Yoke Pneumatic Actuator is widely used because of its excellent performance violation. Today we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic fork actuator.

Advantages of scotch yoke pneumatic actuator:

Nowadays, most of the actuators used in chemical industry are pneumatic actuators, which use pneumatic source as power. Pneumatic actuators are easier to operate and calibrate than other types of actuators, and can easily realize the exchange of positive and negative in the field. Its greatest advantage is that safety has explosion-proof function. When using locator, it is very ideal for flammable and explosive environment, and if the telecommunication signal is not explosion-proof or intrinsically safe, it has potential fire risk caused by fire. In contrast, it is more economical and economical than electric and hydraulic systems, and has simple structure, easy to master and maintain.
Main shortcomings of pneumatic actuators:
That is, the response is slow, the control precision is low, and the anti-deviation ability is poor. The pneumatic actuator is the best choice in the condition of not requiring high control precision, extremely fast response and anti-deviation ability.
Pneumatic actuator, i. e. cylinder, can be divided into single-action and double-action cylinders. When the air source is cut off, the cylinder can not return to the preset position. Single-acting pneumatic actuator can return to the preset position by spring after air source is cut off.
Above is the advantage and disadvantage of the scotch yoke pneumatic actuator, for your reference only.
