    AST 213 Notes

    A pneumatic actuator is a device that

    Actuators converts energy typically in the form of


    compressed air into mechanical motion.

    The valve has a blockable pressure connection P,

    3. Throttle Relief Valve – this is also known as a speed


    regulating valve. The air flow is throttled in one
    direction. A check valve blocks the flow of air in one
    direction, and the air flow can flow only through the
    regulated cross-section. In the opposite direction, the
    air can flow freely through the opened check valve.

    III. Pressure Control Valves 3. Sequence Valve


    -are elements which predominantly influence the
    pressure, or are controlled by the magnitude of the
    pressure.

    Three Categories:

    1. Pressure Regulating Valve


    2. Pressure Limiting Valve
    3. Sequence Valve

    2. Pressure Limiting Valve

    V. Shut-off Valve
    - this will permit or prevent flow.
