SMC is recognized as one of the world's largest and most progressive manufacturers of pneumatic and other factory automation components. SMC offers over 9,800 basic products and more than 600,000 variations to meet the complex and diversified needs of its customers, including directional control valves, cylinders and actuators, air preparation products, airline products, vacuum products, instrumentation and hundreds of specialty products for individual markets. The company is continually applying world class design to pneumatic component and power control technology to develop advanced products with ever higher levels of performance.

ROTARY ACTUATORS

Bore sizes ranging from 15mm to 8 inches. Vane style rack and pinion. They have high torque and low backlash. They come with stroke adjustments and newer models have radial and axial thrust load bearing tables built in. So if you’re looking for 0-270, 0-90, or 0-180, SMC has the rotary actuator for you. Ask about the MSQ and MSUB model of actuator.

VALVES

From 0.008cv to 48cv, SMC has the most extensive line of valves known to the industry. Ranging from 2 way, 3 way, and 4 way valves, SMC has always been known as the high speed, long life valve when it comes to automation. The VQ series is the smallest 3 way valve in the industry; it is the first valve to boast one billion cycles in the industry. The SYJ series is the smallest 4 way valve. This modular style valve is capable of mounting 3 way and 4 way valves on the same manifold base. This valve measures only 9mm in width and carries a flow rate of 0.1cv. With the most diversified line of solenoid valves, SMC offers a high flow in a small package size. Ask about their broad range of valves available for serial transmission.

CYLINDERS

Bore size ranging from 2.5mm to 32 inches, SMC has the most engineered cylinder products in the industry. Featuring NFPA style cylinders, round throw away style cylinders, ISO style, compact and stopper cylinders. SMC offers a complete line of basic cylinders with their patented "Q" seal, low friction, long life standards the industry has been looking for.

SPECIALTY CYLINDERS

Because SMC spends over $90 million a year on R&D, they position themselves better than any other company in the industry when it comes to learning what the customer wants. SMC has taken the work out of designing linear actuators the old fashion way. By incorporating cross roller or linear slides to their air cylinders, they have created the ultimate in high load, high accuracy, high speed actuators ranging in bore sizes from 6mm to 200mm. SMC is the dominant player in the market.
 


FRLs

Complete with soft start valves so your system does not slam in the morning because of lack of backpressure, to a complete line of FRL modular components. SMC’s FRL systems are feature full.
