Electric Cylinders SMAC Corporate Headquarters and Factory About SMAC SMAC was founded in 1990 in Carlsbad, California, USA with the target of developing devices that would automate work done by hands and fingers. By combining this capability with competitive prices SMAC believes it can eventually replace older technologies such as pneumatic cylinders and electric ball screw actuators. SMAC now manufactures a wide range of precision programmable electric actuators based on its patented moving coil technology. These proprietary moving coil linear motor based designs are technically far ahead...

How Moving Coil Actuators Work Moving coil actuators work on the same principle as an audio loudspeaker. They consist of a moving carriage with an attached coil surrounding a powerful, permanent magnet. Current passing through the coil induces an electro-magnetic force, according to Fleming’s left-hand rule. Varying the direction and amplitude of the current varies the induced force, allowing you to control the motion. The result is a device with few moving parts, low friction and zero backlash with excellent dynamic properties. MOVING COIL TECHNOLOGY MOVING COIL TECHNOLOGY N is the number...

ELECTRIC CYLINDERS ELECTRIC CYLINDERS Electric Cylinder Actuators High speed, compact and price-competitive cylinder actuators that provide an alternative to pneumatic cylinders with superior performance. The conventional cylinder actuator shape and multiple mounting points allow the electric cylinders to be directly retrofitted in most cases. When you take into account the operating cost of compressed air, unit life expectancies, replacement costs, downtime and changeover times, SMAC’s actuators often have a significantly lower total cost than air cylinders and electromechanical...

Linear and Linear Rotary Actuators A comprehensive selection of programmable linear actuators are offered in a wide range of sizes, styles and options to satisfy your most demanding application requirements. The precision Z-theta motion within one small actuator, providing a convenient pick, orient and place. A wide variety of linear rotary actuators are also offered with either direct drive or gearbox equipped rotary units. Linear: • Stroke up to 250mm, force up to 500N, position encoder resolution 5μm standard, 1 and 0.1μm option for most actuators. LINEAR ROTARY ACTUATORS LINEAR & LINEAR...

Benefits & Features BENEFITS & FEATURES Programmability and Operating Modes Using SMAC controllers all of our products are programmable using 3 different modes independently controlling position, velocity, and force, allowing their performance characteristics to be tightly monitored. Pass/fail windows for any of these parameters can be set - useful for error reporting and testing applications. Position mode Position mode will allow the actuator to be moved to any position along the stroke using a given acceleration, velocity and force. It is possible to make absolute, relative and “learned...

What is a Soft-Land™? The Soft-Land™ is a patented unique software routine which allows an SMAC actuator to approach a surface at an unknown distance and land on it with a programmed force that can be as low as 0.1N. It gives extremely accurate sensing of product location or dimensions. This is particularly useful for handling delicate or high value components, such as surface mount chips, but other uses are emerging all the time. The routine takes advantage of the SMAC actuator’s unique ability to control applied force while monitoring position in real time and is available for use with...
