Abstract

A pneumatic actuator for control of the coating thickness or basis weight of a coating apparatus for paper or cardboard webs has a pair of spring metal plates which can be deflected outwardly by a pneumatically extendable cushion between these plates in a frame. One end of the pair of plates is anchored while the other end is attached to a coating pin which works against a compression spring counteracting the outward deflection of the metal plates.
