Actuators Manufacturers

Actuator is a functional element, which connects the information processing part of an electronic control system with a technical or non-technical process. Actuator can be used to control the flow of energy, mass or volume. The actuator control is always achieved using very low electrical power, ideally without any power consumption, with currents and voltages which are, if possible, microelectronically compatible. As an actuator is supposed to control flows of matter and energy, an actuator must contain at least one energy controller. An actuator contains series connection of an energy controller and an energy converter. The term actuator refers often only to the energy converter, whereas the energy controller is called a power amplifier or power circuit.
