You are a huge inspiration to me. When I choose mechanical engineering over electrical engineering, I was thinking of the pure joy I get from your your channel.
I've got an Integra. Fortunately, she's holding up okay, but if problems come up I'll try to post. I've got future plans for transforming it for autoX, but for the time being I just need it to run. There are still some things I could certainly fix on it, so when I do get around to it I will certainly post videos. Thanks for the tip!
Just bought a wind powered air compressor to pump water out if my deep well on my homestead I'm building. Really excited about what else compressed air can do to keep me off grid. I have a lot of research pneumatic technology! Great video and thanks
An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system, for example by opening a valve. In simple terms, it is a "mover". An actuator requires a control signal and a source of energy.
Thank you, that was really well explained although it would have been nice if there was an explanation of what an actuator actually was at the beginning (ie something that converts energy into motion)
In the power steering example with the hydraulic actuator, does that mean the valve is changing states each time I change the wheel direction from left to right? I'm curious to learn more about how such a valve would work.
so the actuator on my subaru ez30 intake regulates cruise control? I want to delete it when swapping for a newer plastic intake. Thanks I think this helped me out!
would you be able to explain linear steering, which I think 350z has, want to know what's difference between linear and non linear and non power steering. hopefully makes sense what I wrote not sure how to really explain it properly. also which steering feels better on the road for best feed back.
Does anyone have a good link to efficiency statistics for linear vs hydraulic vs pneumatic vs vacuum actuators and how much work is required to produce how much work on the other end of the system? What losses are in each system? And advantages and disadvantages of each? Actuation speed and frequency/total work the system can do etc.? Thanks.
Re: hydraulic/pneumatic actuator: shouldn’t the medium flow the other way - ie from the pump to the reservoir and then through the valve? To me the reservoir in a hydraulic circuit is similar to a large capacitor in an electric circuit- that is - to stabilise the current/preassure
How will the hydraulic/pneumatic actuator make the green thing move backwards if the green wall is already at the end, touching the the barrier at the right side
The syringe ; when the movement goes on right; you want to pump oil to bring it back down. But how is that possible? Wont the stringe leak oil in doing so from top part as there is no closure on top? If so what is this type is syringe called?
I want to learn and understand how to implement the steer by wire system. Kindly help me. How can i learn to seclect the steer motor and the controler. Regards?
hi, i want to open a door that weights aprox 600 pounds and measures 9 x 9 feet. Can you give me an idea of what i need? The idea of using pneumatics for my project its because i know pneaumatics are way faster than electric linear actuators. I want my door to be opened in less than 5 seconds and closed in 5 seconds too is it possible? thanks
hey great video! I was hoping to use a pneumatic air cylinder in a design I have to help elderly users rise from a knelt position, Imagine a kneeling pad that lifts you up. Do you think it would be feasible to use an pneumatic cylinder and an air compressor to do this in a way that would be portable product? I've been trying to work it out but pneumatics is totally new to me. I want the design to be cheap (less than £60/$89), portable (less than 10-15kg in weight) and strong enough to lift a load of say 65-90 kg (132lb-198lb). Any advise would be massively appreciated! I'll be subscribing for more.

Posted 12 years ago, but I just found it and found it very helpful. Thank you for the demonstration.
Thank you for uploading these videos, extremely helpful and easy to understand.
You do an excellent job in explaining! Even someone as ignorant about simple mechanics as I am understands how these actuators work! Well done!
Short and sharp. Greetings from Malaysia!
im from malaysia too
Thanks for the videos! I wanted to learn about how cars work on my own and finding your channel is definitely a great help.
Thanks for your time and effort and mostly the knowledge you share through your videos
Great work

You explanation is very useful for my studies bro........ from srilanka

Oh my god thank you, I'm doing a hydraulics subject at college and it has made no sense in my head and you just made it a little bit easier :D
you should start with what is Actuator actually?
that's what wikipedia is for
An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system, for example by opening a valve. In simple terms, it is a "mover". An actuator requires a control signal and a source of energy.
It's kinda self explanatory when he explains different types of actuators.
@@ther6989 thank you sir
Nice video! Everything explained well =)
I just miss one important type of actuators: piezoelectric. Almost high pressure injection system uses them.
Well explained sir. I've been wondering how actuators work and this was very simple to understand.
Thank you, that was really well explained although it would have been nice if there was an explanation of what an actuator actually was at the beginning (ie something that converts energy into motion)
Interesting. Thanks! The diagram of the oil pump makes perfect sense.
In the power steering example with the hydraulic actuator, does that mean the valve is changing states each time I change the wheel direction from left to right? I'm curious to learn more about how such a valve would work.
Really your videos are nice and informative and it's very useful during my exam times
Thanks buddy
Nice videos, keep them coming. Maybe do some DIY videos with your Accord!
Good revision for my electronics lab! Thank you
I like your video and how you explain things. Great job!
Hi, can you set up an electric actuator to work and seal at different pressures?
Which actuator should you use on a diesel intake flap valve to prevent diesel runaway and cut off air to the engine
Could you make a video on the Aeromotions dual spoiler? That would be very helful. Thanks for all the other ones!
can u make a video about pneumatic valves like in motogp or F1, whats the advantage and disadvantage against common springvalves on the cylinderhead.
so the actuator on my subaru ez30 intake regulates cruise control? I want to delete it when swapping for a newer plastic intake. Thanks I think this helped me out!
I will have to make sure it isnt tied to the brake boost system
Can you explain an electric actuator (spring return) used on transfer cases?
Very educational. Great job! Thanks!
loved your smile.....and the explanation.....cheers
THANK YOU this helps so much with understanding these for my project
Thanks for all your videos,they are great source of information/knowledge..do you have or plan to have videos on motorbikes and engineering thereof..

This is another use of a vacuum actuator, the same principles apply.

Nicely explained. Thx!
Actuator well explained. What about a servo-mechanism?

pls give me more info. about mechanical,hydraulic,pneumatic,electrical actuation

how does the valve work on te hydraulic/pneumatic actuator?
Omg, amazing! ,thank u soooo much , u are better then my teacher! : )
Awesome thank you... I subbed 😁
Keep making them!!
very nice education
Cool, nice video.
nice explanation
U doing great job ,but very diffuclt to undrestood how solneoid ,atf pump etc...working in automatic transmission
It's fun.
I'm glad I'm becoming an engineer.
thanks a lot u saved my time....!
How long can we run an actuator continuously
Very useful

why all cars have high rpms when you first start the car?
o0Orange To warm up.
Engineering Explained i know.. but what cause the rpm to go up? the ecu orders the throttle body to open?
o0Orange yes
