LECTURE 3: Actuators, Encoders, Relays and Switches. Actuators: An actuator is the device that brings about the mechanical movements required for any physical process in the factory. Internally, actuators can be broken down into two separate modules: the signal amplifier and the transducer. The amplifier converts the low power control signal into a high power signal that is fed into the transducer, which actually converts the amplified control signal into the required form of energy. Figure 3.1.
An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. An actuator requires a control signal and a source of energy. The control signal is relatively low energy and may be electric voltage or current, pneumatic or hydraulic pressure, or even human power. The supplied main energy source may be electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure, or pneumatic pressure.
