Abstract
A dual diaphragm, multiposition vacuum actuator. Dual diaphragms in a housing define two vacuum chambers. A spring urges one diaphragm and an actuator rod extended, and the other diaphragm retracted. Vacuum in one chamber retracts the extended diaphragm and actuator rod to an intermediate position, and advances the retracted diaphragm. Vacuum added in the other chamber retracts both diaphragms and the rod as a unit to a fully retracted position.
