DEFINITION of 'Actuarial Life Table'. A table or spreadsheet that shows the probability of a person at a certain age dying before his or her next birthday. These statistics calculate the remaining life expectancy for people at different ages and the probability of surviving a particular year of age. Because men and women have differing mortality rates, an actuarial life table is computed for separately for men and women.
actuator. A mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic device, or their combination, used to effect some predetermined linear, rotary, or oscillating movement. An actuator essentially converts hydraulic or air pressure into mechanical force. Basically, there are two types of actuators: single-acting and double-acting. In the single-acting actuator, the piston moves in a single direction as a result of system pressure. In a double-acting system, the actuator's piston moves in either direction.
