Diaphragm actuators

Diaphragm actuators and bellows actuators can be used in a variety of applications as drive or pneumatic spring systems. They form a class of their own in the world of pneumatics thanks to their special properties – a particular benefit is that they have no annoying stick-slip effect. The stick-slip effect is the jerky sliding motion when solid bodies move against each other. This phenomenon occurs when a body, whose static friction is significantly greater than the sliding friction, is moved. This often happens with pneumatic cylinders.
