    Compact Rotary Air Actuators

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Air Actuators. Compact Rotary Air Actuators.
    Use rotary motion to drive devices in tight spaces. These small actuators are double acting, so they use air to exert force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

    Adjustable-Angle Rotary Air Actuators

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Air Actuators. Adjustable-Angle Rotary Air Actuators.
    Turn the adjustment bolt on these actuators to set the rotation you need for your application. Powered by compressed air, they create rotary movement. They’re great for moving and positioning in pick-and-place operations and for controlling flow in a system by opening and closing a valve. These actuators are double acting, so they use air to exert force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
    304 Stainless Steel Body—304 stainless steel actuators withstand corrosive environments better than aluminum actuators. When you first set them up, attach a flow control valve to adjust the flow of compressed air.

    When you want to control the angle of your shaft’s rotation and are tight on space, choose these rotary air actuators. They’re our smallest rotary actuator, with only one internal moving part. Set the rotation angle you need by turning the adjustment bolts. Powered by compressed air, they rotate components in automated systems. They’re often used for moving and positioning in pick-and-place operations and for controlling flow in a system by opening and closing a valve. These actuators are double acting, so they use air to exert force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

    Designed to turn heavy loads, these rotary air actuators have rack-and-pinion gears that provide high torque output. Actuators are double acting, so they use air to exert force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. You can change the shaft rotation by as much as 30° to meet the requirements of your application—turn the screw on the end cap to adjust.
