What does a Rotary Actuator do?

What does a rotary actuator do?

Rotary actuators transform pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric energy to mechanical rotation. A rotary actuator differs from a linear actuator, which uses linear motion to convey force as opposed to rotation, but a rotary actuator can also be connected to mechanisms to form linear actuators. Either of these actuators can be a servo or servomotor, which is an actuator with sensors to give it high precision.

Hydraulic rotary actuators are typically utilised for applications requiring high torques. A major use of hydraulic rotary actuators is the mobile construction equipment industry. Although hydraulic motors and cylinders are common, actuators are used where rotation is limited to a revolution or less and a compact solution is necessary.
