Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pneumatic actuators, in particular to a pneumatic actuator with a built-in anti-collision component. Background Art

[0002] The pneumatic actuator uses compressed air as its energy source and receives the air source pressure signal input by the positioner. This pressure acts on the diaphragm of the diaphragm chamber to generate thrust to compress the spring assembly and displace the push rod. When the push rod and the spring assembly are compressed and the counter-excitation generated is balanced, the valve stem is stabilized at the corresponding stroke. According to the principle of force balance, the stroke size is in a certain proportional relationship with the input size of the pressure excitation signal, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the valve core of the regulating valve.
