SMAC’s new Low Cost Linear Actuator brings stiff price competition to pneumatic actuators
SMAC's new LCL (Low Cost Linear) Actuator brings stiff price competition to pneumatic actuators.
SMAC announces a new low cost actuator series that brings actuator list price to $300 or less.
SMAC's design features:
• SMAC's patent pending Printed Coil technology with integrated encoder reader head.
• Precision laser cut housing and end caps.
• IKO precision linear recirculating guides.
• Very strong Neo denium magnets.
• Strokes out to 200 mm.
• Acceleration of 100G
• Cycle rates of up to 2000 a minute.
• Cycle life >100M.
• Programmable Speed, position, and force.
• Ability to "Softland" and then push.
• A round Stainless steel cover option for IP requirements. (CDL option)
• Built in controller option
• SMAC's simple programming GUI - at no charge.
• SMAC's MCA inside concept that allows the rapid and low cost development of application specific actuator dimensions at no charge to the customer
Now there finally is a cost competitive and technically superior option to air cylinders. Its time to move out of old dumb 20th century technology and into the 21st century with actuators that can "Do Work and Verify the Result at the Same time".
Also, available is an optional SMAC LDL Moving Coil Actuator.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
