CAL36 Series of Electric Cylinders

Due to the innovative design and construction, the unit can achieve up to 50G acceleration and can offer a long life expectancy due to over-guiding and internal permanent lubrication.

As with all SMAC actuators, the CAL36 series of electric cylinders has independent control of position, speed, and force. Further to this, the SMAC patented Soft-Land capability is incorporated to allow the actuator to land on parts gently and then apply required forces. This is ideal for handling fragile or expensive components and material. The actuator also has the ability to do work and simultaneously provide feedback about the success or failure of the work done.

The CAL36 series of electric cylinders is based on proprietary SMAC moving coil actuator (MCA) technology, which is covered by multiple patent applications. They are offered with a choice of encoder resolutions from 5 micron down to 50 nanometer to satisfy a variety of industrial, scientific, motion control and quality check applications. Vacuum for pick-and-place applications, return springs, and air cylinder type mounting options are available upon request.

SMAC continues its long-term price improvement by offering a reduction in price by over 30% in comparison to previous generation LA series products. Increased ease of manufacturing, assembly, and 100% quality check of critical tolerance parts makes SMAC CA series electric actuators an attractive alternative to pneumatic cylinders, mechanical CAMs, ball screw actuators, Piezo, and other conventional technology devices.
