Whether for positioning applications such as transportation and assembly or for pressure applications such as dosing or clamping devices: There are virtually no limits to the design of electric drives. At the same time, users are looking for solutions that are as compact as possible and easy, safe and reliable to operate, combining high performance with efficiency and economy. With the new EQFS/Y_H series, SMC is now introducing the e-Actuator series, which combines all these features in a single solution. The combination of drive and controller results in more compact machines and eliminates the lack of space in control cabinets. Thanks to the simple installation and configuration via exclusive software, control is as easy as with an air cylinder with solenoid valve. While the drive achieves top values in terms of speed, payload and accuracy, CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 59 percent at the same time thanks to improvements in the motor, controller and efficiency.
