Understanding Piston Actuators
Piston actuators transform the energy from a small explosive or pyrotechnic charge into rapid linear motion, driving mechanical systems with precision and force. These actuators are essential in applications where electrically or pneumatically actuated systems are too slow, heavy, or vulnerable to failure.
