SMC LE series motorless electric actuators

Filling the technology gap between complex, conventional electric actuators and standard air-operated cylinders, SMC’s range of motorless electric actuators, the LE series, is said to offer a range of performance benefits.

From installation ease and enhanced flexibility to improved performance, the range is a suitable solution for applications with existing motor platforms that now require a customised solution.

The motorless option is available for a range of electric actuators within the LE series, including the LEFS Slider Type, LEFB Slider Type, LEJS High Rigidity Slider Type, LEY Rod Type and LEYG Guided Rod Type. The LE series is compatible with 16 motor manufacturers, some of which are Rockwell, Mitsubishi, OMRON, YASKAWA and Beckhoff.

In addition, SMC’s step motor controller solution, the JXC91 series, can be used to integrate EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP or Profinet communication. It is easy to install, easy to use and requires less labour due to reduced wiring.
