SMAC Moving Coil Actuators Product
Member Since 2014
SMAC makes Moving Coil electric actuators. These products are the fastest actuators in the world. Cycle life is well beyond 100M. They have the ability to softly land on surfaces and then apply a programmed specific force. SMAC’s new LDL series of linear actuators has a list price of around $300 making them the first real electric actuator alternative to air cylinders. This price is based on SMAC’s contstent cost down program featuring pointed coils, in-house manufactured encoders, and laser cut parts. SMAC invented the Linear Rotary actuator 25 years ago. These are widely used in Electronic Pick and Place, Quality Thread Check, Bottle Capping, and beginning to find wide use in Automatic Screw Driving and SMART Drilling and Tapping. Interestingly a number of companies are making an effort to copy SMAC - but are not able to match technology or price. SMAC also has stepped up its efforts in inspection by launching the MLA series - a direct challenge to old tech LVDT devices.

Specifications
Linear Rotary Actuators - Programmable in Force/Torque, Speed and Position.
NOTE: SMAC insists that all units must be operated with a 40% maximum duty cycle. Please see the Tech Info/Set up Information page or manual for further explanation and examples of how to calculate the duty cycle.
We manufacture actuators to suit our customers' requirements. Please call us if you do not find the right actuator in this list.
Options and Modifications:
| Encoder resolutions | 5µm standard, 1µm and 0.1µm optional for most units. Consult factory for availability. |
| Shaft ends | Male, Female, Blank and Custom (check with factory on availability of Custom option) |
| Return spring | Prevents the shaft from dropping during vertical operation when power is cut. |
| Vacuum through the shaft | For pick and place applications |
| Extended nose bushing | For tighter shaft run-out and higher side load onto the shaft. |
| Increase of the maximum force and acceleration | 48 volt coil and double coil options are available for some units with 24 volt single coil. Please consult factory for availability. |
| Increase of the force accuracy and lifetime | Extra long life linear guide / Low friction linear guide |
