Linear Actuators  -  Direct Drive Servo Linear Motors

SMAC provides a comprehensive selection of electric linear actuators, ranging from units with 5mm stroke in a compact unit only 10mm in height, to units with 150mm of stroke length or up to 500N peak force. As with all SMAC actuators, the LAL series linear actuator has the unique ability to enable free and independent control of velocity, position and force simultaneously. Further to this, the SMAC patented "Soft-Land" function is incorporated to allow delicate and controlled force when landing on fragile components. 

Standard resolution on all SMAC actuators is 5µm with 1µm and 0.1µm options available on most models. Please contact us with any special requirements you may have.

Linear Rotary Actuators  -  Programmable in Force/Torque, Speed and Position

SMAC provides a comprehensive selection of combined linear and rotary actuators with either direct drive or gearbox equipped rotary units. They can easily be programmed to control force/torque, position and velocity in all axes at the same time. The actuator has SMAC's unique "Soft-Land" function which enables the unit to gently land on a delicate component with a controlled force to avoid damage of both the component and the actuator. This makes them ideal for applications such as pick and place and assembly. 

Standard linear resolution on all SMAC actuators is 5µm with 1µm, and 0.1µm options available on most models. The rotary resolution varies between 2,000 to 28,000 counts for gearbox units and 20,000 counts for the direct drive. Higher rotary encoder resolution and alternative geared motors to increase torque/gear ratio are also available. Please contact us with any special requirements you may have.

Linear Slide Actuators -  Programmable in Force, Speed and Position

SMAC provides a comprehensive selection of electric linear slide actuators. The slide versions are based upon on the LAL and LAC series linear actuator and their performance characteristics are largely the same. 

They are compact in overall size and, and as with all SMAC actuators have a combination of force, position and velocity control with feedback. High or low speed and precise positioning with high repeatability make them ideal for applications such as parts feeding, scanning, testing, and measuring in wide range of industries. 

Standard linear resolution on all SMAC actuators is 5µm with 1µm and 0.1µm options available on most models. Please contact us with any special requirements you may have.

Grippers  -  Soft Touch, Precise Positioning, Dual Axis

SMAC electric grippers incorporate programmable speeds, positions and forces with data feedback. The ability to independently control each jaw allows precise force control, measurement and positioning. This makes them ideal for a wide range of positioning, measuring, and inspection applications, particularly where 100% verification is required. Unit range is from with 5mm stroke in a compact overall size 55x70x17.

XY Stages  -  Precise Positioning, High Speed, Zero Backlash

SMAC provides high-precision and high-speed XY stages. SMAC virtues of a direct drive zero backlash system, which can be controlled with great accuracy and repeatability. SMAC XY stages are equipped as standard with 5µm encoder with options down to 0.05µm encoder resolution for ultra precise positioning and scanning for industries such as bio-science, medical and photonics. They are also used for quality measurement in automotive and other industrial automation applications. The capability of controlling the velocity, acceleration, positioning and force of each axis independently, gives you a flexible and accurate tool. Please contact us with any special requirements you may have.

Electric Cylinders  -  High Speed and Compact Actuators

The 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. They 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.
