The LEYG guided rod electric actuator pairs a LEY actuator with a bolt-on bearing block with double guide rods.  The guide rods counter rotational forces instead of the drive and motor, and also resist shock and sustained lateral loads.  Guide selection offers either slide or ball bushing bearings.  The motor orientation can be reverse mounted on top for compact length, or inline for compact height.  This version includes a 24VDC motor with a battery-less absolute encoder.  This encoder allows the actuator to be powered down without losing its positional awareness.  The machine's PLC can access the controller's operational and positional step data through several fieldbus protocols, IO-Link, or parallel I/O.

The LER features a rotating worktable positioned above an enclosure for the motor and drive train.  Both a basic and high torque variation are offered.  Three rotation angles are also available, including 90°, 180°, or 320°.  This version includes a 24VDC motor with a battery-less absolute encoder.  This encoder allows the actuator to be powered down without losing its positional awareness.  The machine's PLC can access the controller's operational and positional step data through several fieldbus protocols, IO-Link, or parallel I/O.

The LES electric actuator combines a motor and ball screw drive, worktable, and linear guide in compact body.  The formed sheet metal table allows a lower mounting surface height, lighter weight, and greater vertical work load than the LESH slide table.  Body orientations include basic, symmetrical, and inline mounted motor.  This version includes a 24VDC motor with a battery-less absolute encoder.  This encoder allows the actuator to be powered down without losing its positional awareness.  The machine's PLC can access the controller's operational and positional step data through several fieldbus protocols, IO-Link, or parallel I/O. 

The rodless LEFS slider is an electric actuator with a load mounting platform situated above a ball screw drive.  A flexible seal band permits platform travel while preventing foreign matter from entering the drive.  Slider advantages include a low profile height, shorter length than a rod with equivalent stroke, and better positioning repeatability than a belt driven slider.  This version includes a 24VDC motor with a battery-less absolute encoder.  This encoder allows the actuator to be powered down without losing its positional awareness.  The machine's PLC can access the controller's operational and positional step data through several fieldbus protocols, IO-Link, or parallel I/O.

S coupler series KK employs a unique connection method. A slim body design and large effective area are achieved with a construction that does not use steel balls or valve springs and therefore does not restrict the flow path. Together with a reduction of the body size, pressing parts and resin parts are used to achieve an overall weight reduction.

The AC-D series of modular F.R.L. brings a modern appearance to SMC's line of air preparation equipment while maintaining the high performance of our other series.  The maximum set pressure of the AC-D is 125 psi allowing use in a broad range of applications.  Most of the features of the AC-A and -B have been incorporated into the AC-D - transparent bowl guards for full visibility; embedded gauges and pressure switches; reduced maintenance space and simplified element change on AF-D series filters.

The AF-D series of modular air filters brings a modern appearance to SMC's line of filters while maintaining the high performance of our other series.  These 5 μm units can serve as appropriate filtration for many applications or as a pre-filter for fine filtration/coalescing units.  The transparent bowl guard on the size 30 and larger provides improved environmental protection as well as full view of the bowl contents.

The AR-D series of modular air regulators brings a modern appearance to SMC's line of regulators while maintaining the high performance of our other series.  Its 125 psi maximum set pressure and range of standard features make it ideal for most applications.  The new handle design make these units easier to adjust than previous models.

The HRL and HRLE are temperature control devices featuring two cooling channels in one package.  These chillers are specifically designed to cool the optical head and oscillator of a laser processing system.  Considerable space savings can be realized compared to a two chiller solution.  Both types feature touch panels for operations, fan-cooled refrigeration circuits, and independent coolant ports for each laser component.  The HRL has extensive standard features and targets large output lasers of 5kW or more.  The HRLE is for medium output lasers of 3-4kW, with a patent pending simplified circuit design for a single tank and pump.  The heating function uses waste heat from the refrigerant discharge instead of a separate electric heater to improve efficiency and reliabilty.

HRS, HRS-R, HRSE compact recirculating chillers are designed to meet the widest range of single-point applications in both industrial and technology settings. The package design is robust enough for the factory, yet ergonomic and compact for lab installations. Coolant can be either heated or cooled within the set temperature range. Choose from eight cooling capacities, air or water cooled refrigerant, and global power supply options.

The Rack Mount Chillers are a temperature control device mountable in a 19-inch rack. Rack mounting recovers desktop or floor space, permitting stacking of related devices and mobility, depending on the rack style. Recirculating fluid removes heat from the process source. The heat is then removed from the fluid by an air or water-cooled refrigeration circuit. Coolant temperature stability is ±0.1°C within a set temperature range of 10 to 35°C.
