Does a 90-Degree Pneumatic Actuator Require an Air Compressor?

Yes, a 90-degree pneumatic actuator typically requires a compressed air supply to function, but the exact setup depends on the application:

1. Compressed Air Source Needed

The actuator operates using pressurized air (usually 4–6 bar), supplied by:

Air compressor (most common for industrial systems)

Pre-charged air tank (for limited cycles in remote locations)

Plant air supply (if available in industrial facilities)

2. Alternative Solutions (No Continuous Compressor)

Pneumatic reservoirs (stored compressed air for intermittent use)

Manual pumps (for low-duty applications)

Gas-driven systems (using CO₂ or nitrogen cylinders)

3. Key Considerations

Continuous-duty applications require a compressor with a regulator & dryer to maintain clean, stable air.

Small or portable systems may use pre-filled air tanks instead of a compressor.
