Anonymous Poster	Vane Actuator Basics - Help! 10/14/2007 2:50 PM
	I'm using a single-paddle, semi-rotary vane actuator for a high-pressure hydraulics application where the actuator is resistive. No more than 70 degrees of angular displacement. How does pressure relate to torque in a vane-style hydraulic unit? Is it simply P=F/A with the F acting on the centroid of the area?
