Rotary actuator drift and positioning inaccuracies are primarily caused by worn seals, contaminated air supply, improper mounting, or inadequate feedback systems, but most issues can be resolved through systematic troubleshooting and quality component replacement.
Pneumatic angular grippers convert linear pneumatic force into rotational jaw motion through cam, wedge, or lever mechanisms, creating an arc-shaped gripping pattern that naturally centers irregular parts while providing variable force distribution across the contact surface.
Pneumatic parallel grippers operate by converting compressed air pressure into linear mechanical force through a piston-cylinder mechanism that drives two opposing jaws in perfectly synchronized straight-line motion, maintaining consistent grip force and precise positioning throughout the entire stroke.
Parallel grippers excel in precision handling of uniform objects with consistent grip force, while angular grippers provide superior adaptability for irregularly shaped parts and offer greater flexibility in confined spaces.
Linear actuators provide straight-line motion ideal for pushing, pulling, and positioning tasks, while rotary actuators deliver angular movement perfect for turning, indexing, and multi-directional operations – selecting the correct type depends on your specific motion requirements and workspace constraints.
