A rotary actuator is a pneumatic cylinder that allows a stroke to oscillate through a specific angle while twisting or angling. They provide a strong force (torque) for their size and are long-lasting. Rotary actuators can make a design simpler and help with maintenance problems. Numerous end-user sectors, including semiconductors, oil and gas, packaging, and aerospace & defense, frequently use rotary actuators. Gas turbines in the oil and gas sector employ rotary actuators to activate minimal operating and maintenance costs.
Global Rotary Actuators Market Driving Factors and Challenges
One of the main factors driving the expansion of the rotary actuators market is the rise of industrial automation. In continuous production processes, for instance, where the continuous process is monitored and managed by actuators, process automation helps turn raw materials into finished products. Manufacturers are incorporating actuation devices into their production lines in the meanwhile to boost productivity. Importantly, rotary actuators are widely utilized in many end-user industries, including semiconductors, oil and gas, packaging, aircraft, and defense.
One of the factors preventing the market for rotary actuators from expanding is the volatility of raw material prices. Copper, stainless steel, and other metal alloys are the main raw materials utilized to make actuators. However, the price volatility of these raw resources may prevent the market from expanding. The vendors' productivity may be impacted by changes in the price of raw materials. Due to the market's intense competition, vendors are unable to pass along the increased costs to customers, which lowers their profit margins. Because of this, raw material price volatility is a significant pricing issue and could restrain the development of the market for rotary actuators during the projection period.
