Linear actuator for air inlet flaps in a pig house

The video shows a linear actuator designed to control a system of air inlet flaps in a livestock building. It is an example of an actuator that forms part of a larger ventilation system.

The actuator as part of the system

The actuator’s movement needs to be considered alongside the flap mechanism and control method. The presentation does not include a full specification for all variants, so when making an enquiry, it is worth stating the model designation, required stroke range and compatible controller.

For wider context on measurement, ventilation and air inlets, see the description of pig-house automation.
