Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Actuator (solenoid/pneumatic cylinder)

Definition
Within the Extrudate Cutting Mechanism, this actuator provides the precise linear motion required to drive the cutting blade or guillotine. It receives control signals and translates them into physical movement to sever extruded materials at predetermined intervals or lengths.
Working Principle
Solenoid actuators use an electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field that moves a plunger, creating linear force. Pneumatic cylinders use compressed air entering a chamber to push a piston along a cylinder bore, converting pneumatic pressure into linear mechanical motion.
Common Materials
Stainless steel, Aluminum alloy, Engineering plastics
