Talk:Actuators

Justification: I thought the sensors and actuators section could use some actuator material!

This page could definately use some more work. Unfortunately it is a fine line on this page especially on what is useful for this class and what isn't, how the diaphragm valve is used with pneumatic systems is pretty much the only thing I pulled from lecture, the rest was from my experiences with refreshers from Wikipedia (hence the lack of resources).

If this page is expanded, it could use some diagrams, especially with the interfacing the diaphram valve with pneumatics. I (rschuste) have the Inventor files used for all of the animations in the valves section, which could be used to make a wonderful graphic... I'm just tired of editing wiki......

Motors could be expanded, or a chart similar to the wikipedia one compairing the advantages/disadvantages of the diffrent kinds could be used.

Also, more information on controling these devices could be used, although potentially on a diffrent page. Things like relays and encoder types should be covered.
