The cascading bypass system is perhaps the most common design for managing high-pressure steam in a combined-cycle plant. It is the hot reheat (HRH) bypass valve actuator that defines the valve’s ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Many industrial applications require practical and complex linear-motion systems during daily operation. No matter how ...

Examples of pneumatic (left) and electronic actuators from Bimba Manufacturing Company. The question of whether it’s better to use pneumatic or electric actuators as part of your system design or to ...

Air springs are rubber/fabric bellows that support and contain a column of compressed air. These single-acting pneumatic actuators have been used for more than 50 years across wide-ranging ...

New Rochelle, NY, July 18, 2017--A new study demonstrated the design, potential applications, and advantages of an innovative multi-chambered soft pneumatic actuator. Researchers described how the ...

Soft robots that bend and stretch are cool concepts, but there's usually a lot of clunky hardware involved to make them work, like air compressors and gas generators. They're seldom practical in real ...

Eaton has unveiled two new concentric pneumatic clutch actuators designed for push-type diaphragm spring clutches. The actuators work with a vehicle’s automated manual transmission to determine the ...
