	Actuator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An actuator is the mechanism by which an agent acts upon an environment.
		Electrical motors, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic pistons, relays, comb drive, piezoelectric actuators, thermal bimorphs, Digital Micromirror Devices and electroactive polymers are some examples of such actuators.
		In virtual instrumentation actuators and sensors are the hardware complements of virtual instruments.

	Metasys® - Article: New Role... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		An intelligent actuator could include a mathematical algorithm to compensate for this non-linearity, allowing the lower-cost ball valve to be used.
		Intelligent motors are also on the horizon, although chiller control and actuator technologies are further developed.
		When "intelligence" is routinely added to other equipment such as electrical switchgear and lighting fixtures, the number of controllers involved in the BAS once again will be reduced dramatically.

	Norgren - Manufactures of pneumatic components and pneumatic automation systems
		The next step, Bramley says, is to move the intelligence from either the fieldbus or the PLC into individual valves, by fitting each with a microchip.
		Intelligent valves have other implications and Bramley is keen to save the best for last.
		The next step along his highway of technological progress is to integrate the intelligent valve with the actuator itself, thereby creating an intelligent actuator.

		The disadvantage of pyrotechnical actuators is that they have to be exchanged after deployment, which is associated with corresponding costs for the driver.
		The new actuator consists of an electromagnet, mechanics to the release the pretensioned spring, an electronic unit, and an energy storage device consisting of an especially efficient capacitor.
