Problem with air cylinders?

Product catalog summary

Introduction
SMAC Electric Actuators offer a solution to common problems associated with air cylinders, such as short life span, noise, and lack of precision. These actuators provide over 500 million cycles, a patented 'Soft-Land' feature to prevent damage, and fully programmable movement.

Key Features

Long lifespan: Over 500 million cycles, significantly outlasting air cylinders.
Soft-Land capability: Prevents damage to parts by eliminating high force impacts.
Precision: High repeatability with movement profiles accurate to ±1 msec.
Programmability: Allows control over position, velocity, and force.
High acceleration: Up to 50G.
Quiet operation: No need for compressed air.
Cost-effective: OEM pricing starts at $495 with controller.

Applications

Cup Dispensing: High-speed dispensing at over 400 cups per minute with quiet operation.
Liquid Nitrogen Dosing: Precise and repeatable control of dosing amount, extending the life of dosing valves.
Bottle Rejecting and Sorting: Smooth and gentle container movement at speeds over 1200 containers per minute.
De-blistering: Gentle dispensing of tablets without damage, eliminating the need for compressed air.
Capping of Bottles: Detects and reports nozzle issues, adjusts force and torque, and performs quality checks.
Bottle Filling: Flexible motion profiles and speeds tailored to material and container size.
High-Speed Labeling: Matches conveyor speed with adjustable speed and height, using Soft-Land for controlled force application.
