A pneumatic actuator and control valve assembly has a housing with a control cavity for a control valve and an actuator cavity for an actuator piston and rod assembly. The control cavity and actuator cavity both have an elongated shape and are substantially parallel to each other. The control cavity has a supply port and first and second control valve outlet ports and at least one vent port with the control valve being movable through the control cavity for controlling communication between the supply port and the first and second outlet ports. The actuator cavity has first and second ports at the retracted and extended ends for shuttling the piston and within the actuator cavity between a retracted and extended end position. The housing has a first inlet and second inlet for passage of pressurized fluid to and from the housing.
