PRESSURE REGULATOR
The pneumatic pressure regulator is a form of pressure reducing
valve, it has an inlet port, an outlet port and a pressure vent. Supply
air enters the component through the inlet port and regulated air exits
through the outlet port and any over pressure will be exhausted
through the pressure vent. The regulated pressure level is set with
the adjustment knob and is not affected by air flow or inlet pressure.

The component shifts the connection between two outlet ports with a
pressure inlet port and an exhaust port. By this means pneumatic control
of the system is achieved. In such valves normally outlet ports are
indicated as 2 and 4, pressure port - as 1, and exhaust ports - as 3 and 5.
The position of the valve spool is retained until a pneumatic control signal
is applied to any of the control ports.
The 5/2 directional control valves, operated by pneumatic impulse is
applied in various practical solutions such as: pushing off details; applying
tools for performing operations, opening/closing doors and windows,
stretch/bend robot/manipulator arms.

Rotary Actuator
The rotary actuator transforms the power of compressed air into a
reversible rotary motion. The actuator has two pistons, connected to a
rack. The linear motion created by introducing an air pressure to the
piston/rack assembly is transmitted through a pinion to create a rotary
motion. The rotation angle could reach and even overcome 360
depending on the cylinder stroke and on the gear ratio. The chamber
between the two pistons is connected to the atmosphere, to avoid any
trapped air from impeding any motion of the actuator.
Rotary actuators are controlled by 4/2 or 5/2 directional control valves,
mechanically, pneumatically or electrically operated.
Rotary actuators are used for turning details, bending pipes and bars, or
for driving butterfly valves in pneumatic control systems.
