Electric Cylinder Actuators

Electric CylindersThe CA range of electric cylinders have been designed with the most demanding of automation tasks in mind and are the first real linear motors to challenge pneumatic devices. The offer long life and much more precise and repeatable force control and positioning than conventional pneumatic devices. The conventional shape and multiple mounting points allow the electric cylinders to be directly retrofitted in most cases.

Linear Actuators

Linear ActuatorsSMAC provides a variety of linear actuators, ranging from units with 10mm stroke in a compact unit only 20mm in height, to units with 150mm of stroke length or up to 225N peak force. Standard resolution on all SMAC actuators is five micron with one micron and half micron options available on most models. Please call us with any special requirements you may have.

Linear/Rotary Actuators

Linear/Rotary ActuatorsWe offer a comprehensive selection of combined linear/rotary actuators with either direct drive or gearbox equipped rotary units. Standard linear resolution on all SMAC actuators is 5micron with 1micron and half micron options available on most models. The rotary resolution varies between 4,864 counts for gearbox units and 20,000 counts for the direct drive LAR34. Please call us with any special requirements you may have.

Linear Slide Actuators

Linear Slide ActuatorsThe SMAC product line also includes many linear slide actuators. The slide versions are based upon on the LAL models and their performance characteristics are largely the same. Standard linear resolution on all SMAC actuators is 5micron with 1micron and half micron options available on most models. Please call us with any special requirements you may have.

Gripper Actuators

Gripper ActuatorsSMAC grippers find use in many markets, one of their key features being the ability to independently control each jaw. The Soft-Land technique ensures that fragile components are not harmed.

XY Stage Actuators

XY Stage ActuatorsSMAC recently added to the range of XY systems our smallest stage ever, the LXY10, and a mini XYZ is currently in development.

Multi-Axis Actuators

Multi-Axis ActuatorsSMAC is pleased to introduce its range of Multi–Axis controls solutions. These systems deliver the capability to learn and follow a 3D contour or motion path, with a high degree of speed, precision, accuracy and repeatability. All combinations of SMAC actuators can be used: Linear, rotary and linear/rotary axis.

Controllers and Amplifiers

SMAC supplies a variety of controllers and amplifiers to support our actuators. The controllers allow code to be stored in non-volatile RAM which is then used to enable movements to be made in three different modes. Controllers are available in single or dual axis configurations.
