Hi

what is the purpose of vent assembly / vent plug in actuators ?

Thank you
 
To allow venting while preventing dirt and insect from entering. Also, sometimes for sound reduction.
 
Depending on where it is it also drains condensation which is always present in things that are heavy and can lag the ambient temperature by many minutes.
