What is actuators?

An actuator is a component that is responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. It requires a control signal and a source of energy, which can be electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure, or pneumatic pressure. Actuators are widely used in various applications, including robotics, industrial automation, automotive engineering (e.g., throttle control, power steering), and aerospace.
