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.

IP Seals for Robots

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies' IPRS (Ingress Protection Seals for Robots) provides reliable protection for robotic systems operating in harsh environments. Designed to prevent dust, moisture, chemicals, and wear from compromising performance, IPRS extends service life and reduces maintenance. The adaptive Z-shaped geometry ensures sealing integrity under continuous motion, making it ideal for high-speed automation and outdoor applications. Manufactured with high-performance elastomers such as Fluoroprene XP and EPDM, IPRS offers exceptional resistance to lubricants, cleaning agents, and extreme temperatures. This makes it the perfect solution for six-axis robots, SCARA robots, AMRs, AGVs, and cobots. With its low-friction design and durable materials, IPRS enhances energy efficiency and operational reliability in industrial and autonomous robotics. Learn more about our IPRS Seals
