Why Upgrade to LPL & LDL Actuators?

SMAC’s innovative electric actuators offer game-changing benefits:

  • Cost-competitive alternative starting at just $325 (thanks to laser part manufacturing and laser-welded assembly).
  • Fully programmable control over speed, position, and force for ultimate precision.
  • Faster cycle rates2X the speed of air cylinders.
  • Unmatched durability—over 10X the cycle life of air cylinders with smooth, controlled motion (no piston slamming).
  • Long-lasting reliabilitylaser-welded components ensure maximum durability and extended operational life.
  • Built-in controller for reduced wiring and easy installation—a true drop-in replacement for pneumatics.
  • Clean & quiet operation—runs on low current 24V or 48V DC, eliminating the need for noisy air compressors.
  • Faster lead times—ships in 2 weeks or less.
  • Easy-to-use GUI included at no charge—simpler setup than air cylinders.
