Double Acting Actuator
Double acting are rotated by supplying air to the related port until it reaches desired position.
Counterclockwise rotation (CCWR)
Air to port B forces the pistons inwards, causing the pinion to rotate clockwise while the air is exhausted from port A.
Air to port A forces the pistons outwards, causing the pinion to rotate countercockwise while the air is exhausted from port B.
Clockwise rotation (CWR)
Air to port B forces the pistons inwards, causing the pinion to rotate counterclockwise while the air is exhausted from port A.
Air to port A forces the pistons outwards, causing the pinion to rotate clockwise while the air is exhausted form port B.

DISCLAIMER : By industry standard, a safety factor of 30% should be considered when sizing actuators with a valve
Spring return Actuators
Spring return pneumatic actuators are rotated on one side by compressed air pressure while the springs are loaded. Rotation to the other side is generated by the spring torque.
Counterclockwise Rotation (CCWR)
Loss of air at port A, frees the energy stored in the springs which forces the pistons inwards and rotates the pinion clockwise.
Applying air to port A forces the pistons outwards, causing the pinion to rotate counterclockwise while the springs are compressed.
Clockwise Rotation (CWR)
Loss of air port A, frees the energy stored in the springs which forces the pistons inwards and rotates the pinion counterclockwise.
Applying air to port A forces the pistons outwards, causing the pinion to rotate clockwise while the springs are compressed.
