Electric Actuators
Rodless type electric actuator features a load mounting platform situated above a ball screw drive or belt drive. Ball screw type advantages are better positioning repeatability than belt drives. Belt drive provides a more economical offering.
Similar to the Slider type except utilizes an AC servo motor instead of a DC type. The AC servo motor enables higher speed and acceleration, as well as improved vertical load capability. The drivers are pulse input type, with both incremental and absolute encoder options and 17- or 18-bit resolution.
The rod type electric actuator has a familiar rod cylinder form suitable for push, pull, lift and press applications. The guide rod type includes rods to counter rotational forces instead of the drive and motor, and also resist shock and sustained lateral loads.
Similar to the Rod and Guided Rod type except utilizes an AC servo motor instead of a DC type. The AC servo motor enables higher speed and acceleration, as well as improved vertical load capability. The drivers are pulse input type, with both incremental and absolute encoder options and 17- or 18-bit resolution.
Rotary electric actuators feature a rotating worktable positioned above an enclosure for the motor and drivetrain. Three different motor/table sizes are available, with each size offering a basic and high torque variation. Additionally, each size offers four rotating angle options, including 90°, 180°, 310 / 320°, and continuously rotating.
SMC electric gripper series includes three series (LEHZ, LEHZJ and LEHF) fitted with two fingers. LEHS is available with three fingers. Dust covers, low profile fingers and long stroke options are some of the series options. The 3 finger type is ideal for holding round work pieces. Benefits of electric grippers include adjustable gripping forces,…
The LEP family of mini electric actuators includes a rod type and a slide table type. Each mini electric actuator design is built around the same motors, drives and bodies. Each model is lightweight, less than 1-1/2 lb, and compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The LAT3 Card Motor miniature electric…
Controllers and drivers needed for our electric actuator family. You will find step motor, servo motor and card motor controllers as well as 24VDC Fieldbus gateway units and AC servo drivers.
LES and LESH integrate a work table, linear guide and a motor driven linear ball screw. The work table offers top and front load mounting surfaces. Underneath, the linear guide maintains positional accuracy and supports moment loading.
SMC has introduced a line of actuators driven by 24VDC step motors fitted with battery-less absolute encoders. An absolute encoder offers position data upon power-on, avoiding the homing routine an incremental encoder requires. Our battery-less absolute encoder pairs orientation sensors with differently sized rotating wheels to enable position detection. This electro-mechanical design eliminates the battery…
The LEF series slider type electric actuator features a low profile height of 46mm (LEF16). The actuator's main body can be mounted without removing any exterior components, such as the cover, making installation easy. The standard equipped seal band covers the guide, ball screw and belt, preventing grease and external foreign matter from splashing and…
