One end of the spring contacts the rear end cover, and the other end contacts the piston. The piston is controlled by inputting an air pressure source to work against the spring. The force and stroke are fixed. If the spring needs to be replaced, the original sealing structure of the actuator will be destroyed, and the air tightness of the actuator needs to be retested. Therefore, traditional actuators cannot meet the requirements of multiple working conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] The reset assembly is independent of the cylinder and can be detachably connected to the cylinder.
