SMAC manufacture moving coil actuators based on proprietary linear motor technology. These actuators give the user unprecedented programmable control of Speed, Position, and Force, solving many wide spread problems found in a variety of industries.

The products are supplied worldwide through a comprehensive network of technical support branches and distribution. Our design and production plants in the USA, Europe, and Asia provide actuators that fit local customer requirements on a timely basis.

SMAC electronic actuators are unique in that the force, position & speed are totally programmable. Further to this, they are designed to perform at exceptionally high speeds and with a very high degree of accuracy & repeatability. This makes them ideal for a wide range of positioning, measuring, inspection and pick & place applications. Particularly where 100% verification is required.

SMAC Actuator

The voice coil linear actuator is a robust high-precision manufacturing and measurement tool which is designed for long-life and durability. Users benefit from a high speed, repeatable tool with no backlash.

The SMAC Advantage

• Programmable force, position, acceleration and velocity.

• Absolute control over: force, position, acceleration and velocity.
• Direct drive actuator, therefore a very high degree of accuracy & repeatability.
• Integrated position measuring system with glass scale and optical reader head (no wear).
• Very long lifetime due to oversized linear guides.
• Indirect force measurement with the current (switch test).
• Digital and analog in/output channels.
• Ability to switch in between operations: force, position and velocity mode at any time.
• Extremely high acceleration and velocity.
• Unique “Soft-Land” function

Programmable Features

Position Mode: Position Mode will allow the actuating rod to be moved to various positions along the stroke using acceleration, velocity and force. It is possible to make absolute, relative and “learned position” moves.

The actuator is totally programmable for force, acceleration and velocity. It can operate in three different modes:

Force Mode: Force Mode is open loop, using no feed back from the encoder. The actual position is still monitored but has no effect upon the output.

Velocity Mode: Velocity Mode allows the actuating rod to be moved with a given velocity, acceleration, force and direction. Typically used for a “Soft-Land” routine.

SMAC is also constantly working on new & diverse applications with both OEMs & end-users across the world. If you have an application where you feel SMAC can be of help, please contact us.
