Key Topics to Revise

1

Core Idea of Actuators

  • Actuators convert energy into physical motion or force.
  • The basic concept of an actuator is energy conversion for motion.
  • Actuators are essential in robotics, industrial automation, and mechanical systems.
2

Sensor and Actuator Difference

  • A sensor converts a detected physical quantity into an electrical or digital signal.
  • A sensor detects and measures physical, chemical, or environmental parameters.
  • An actuator converts energy into mechanical motion or force.
3

Actuators Based on Energy Source

  • An electric motor is a common actuator that converts electrical energy into rotational motion.
  • A hydraulic cylinder converts hydraulic pressure into linear motion.
  • Pneumatic actuators use compressed air or gas to generate motion.
4

Actuators Based on Motion

  • Linear actuators generate linear motion or displacement in a straight line.
  • The working principle of a linear actuator involves converting rotary motion into linear motion.
  • A linear actuator consists of an electric motor, a lead screw, a nut, and a housing.
