Pneumatic Rotary Actuators Specifications

Help with Pneumatic Rotary Actuators specifications:

Actuator Style

	Your choices are...
	Rack and Pinion (Single) / Helical		The actuator drives a single rack that rotates the pinion.
	Rack and Pinion (Double & Four Piston) / Helical		Two or four actuators drive the racks on both sides of the pinion.
	Rotary Vane (Single)		The rotary vane is directly actuated by pressurized air.
	Rotary Vane (Double)		Two chambers of pressure produces increased torque when compared with a single vane.
	Multi-Motion (Linear & Rotary)		Rotary vane and linear actuators combined for compound motion.
	Other		Other unlisted or specialized style.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Rotation Angle

	Your choices are...
	<45		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	45°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	90°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	120°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	135°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	180°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	225°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	270°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	315°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	360°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	>360°		The angle the actuator can rotate to before reaching its travel limit.
	Other		Other unlisted angles of rotation.
	Search Logic:		Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Indexing / Multi-position?		Actuator allows multiple position stops along strokes.  This includes true rotary indexers.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Specifications

	Operating Pressure Range:		Full required range of operating pressure.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Maximum Torque:		Required range of torque output.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Shaft / Table Axial Load Capacity:		Required axial or thrust load capacity of output shaft or table.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
	Shaft / Table Radial Load Capacity:		Required radial load (perpendicular to shaft axis) capacity of output shaft or table.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
	Linear Stroke:		Stroke is the travel distance between the fully retracted and fully extended rod positions.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Operating Temperature:		This is the full required range of ambient operating temperature.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Shaft / Table Specifications

	Shaft Configuration:
	Your choices are...
	Single Shaft		Shaft output on one side of the actuator.
	Double Shaft		Shaft output on both sides of the actuator - not typically applicable to rotational table output.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Shaft or Table Diameter:		Diameter of output shaft or table.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Shaft Length or Table Height:		Length of shaft extending from actuator body.  In the case of an output table, the table height or thickness, not including the actuator body.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
