An actuator is provided that includes an operating shaft positioned within a chamber for movement between a first position and a second position, and a longitudinal bore for delivering air to an air chuck. A piston is disposed around the operating shaft and is reciprocally mounted in the chamber. When pressurized air is applied to the first side of the chamber, the piston is shifted against a second stop surface at the second side of the chamber allowing pressurized air to flow through the bores in the operating shaft to the air chuck. When pressurized air is applied to the second side of the chamber, the piston moves away from the second stop surface to move the piston to the first position from the second position, while air within the operating shaft is depressurized allowing the air chuck to decouple the operating shaft and chuck from the object being rotated.
