New LDL Programmable Linear Actuator from SMAC Moving Coil Actuators

May 24, 2022

 

The New LDL Programmable Electric Linear Actuator from SMAC has been designed as a cost-competitive alternative to pneumatics. A common trend in industrial automation is that users are looking for electric alternatives to their pneumatic components for a number of reasons: increased control, improved cycle life, and reduced operating cost.

The LDL series actuator features several innovative cost reduction elements that result in a list price starting at $300 US/ea. Features include:

  • •Stroke [mm] : 10 – 100
  • •Peak Force [N] : 90 (48VDC)
  • •Encoder Resolution [µm] : 5 standard, 1 optional
  • •Cost competitive electric solution
  • •Fully programmable in force, position and velocity
  • •SMAC’s Patented ‘Soft-Land’ technology
  • •Built-in controller type available

 

SMAC Moving Coil Actuators is a leading manufacturer of precision programmable electric actuators based on moving coil technology. Their actuators are unique in that force, position, and speed are totally programmable. SMAC electric actuators are designed to perform at exceptionally high speeds or very low speeds and with sub-micron accuracy and repeatability. Patented Soft-Land™ function gives extremely accurate sensing of product location or dimensions.

This makes SMAC electric actuators ideal for a wide range of high cycle positioning, measuring, inspection, and pick and place applications, particularly where 100% verification is required. Customers desiring to increase up-time, ease of set up, and adjustment can make dramatic improvements by using mechatronic SMAC Moving Coil technology. SMAC Moving Coil Actuators are made in the U.S.A.
