Rotary Actuators

At Matara, we are proud to offer a range of pneumatic rotary actuators and hydraulic rotary actuators. Offering unique capabilities and features that enable them to deliver high performance in various applications, these actuator systems play essential roles in effective pneumatic systems.

What Is a Rotary Actuator?

The rotary actuator is a key component of most pneumatic systems. These small, compact devices operate by converting energy – with pneumatic rotary actuators, this energy is produced via compressed air – to generate rotary motion and control the speed and rotation of any associated equipment, such as pneumatic valves.

Pneumatic rotary actuators are a great addition to many industrial applications, often employed for conveying, clamping, transferring parts, positioning, and controlling valves. Their reliability also makes them very useful in hazardous environments, which is why they are common for factory automation.

How Does a Hydraulic Rotary Actuator Work?

Hydraulic rotary actuators are compact units that generate high amounts of torque using hydraulic power, even in compact spaces. They use hydraulic fluid to generate rotary motion, converting linear force to rotate pistons.

They can be very precisely controlled, making them perfect for use in almost any area that has limited capacity for rotary movement. Hydraulic rotary actuators can also withstand high operating pressures, making them ideal for demanding conditions.
