SMAC Introduces the SLA Precision Linear Slide

A very light moving mass results in high accelerations with no backlash. The SLA incorporates precision Cross Roller Guides with anti-creep protection for increased stiffness and lower friction. The Moving Coil drive is centered between cross Rollers thus eliminating moment effects from the drive. The SLA is available with encoder resolution down to 50 nm.

The SLA25 is the first model in the series. The SLA25 has 40x60x25mm profile and stroke length of 10mm is available now. In common with all SMAC actuators it is fully programmable permitting the user to exert complete control over force, acceleration and velocity. This makes it ideal for implementation in industries where SMAC''s patented ''Soft-Land'' procedure allows the actuator to both measure and manipulates very delicate and high value components with ease.

Supply Chain Issues Create Opportunities for U.S. Encoder Manufacturer

Crises leads to record sales.

Carlsbad, CA – Extensive slowdowns all along the supply chain are keeping electronics manufacturers from buying the components they need, when they need them, suggesting broader problems across the economy. However, for SMAC, a little encoder manufacturing group in Derry, New Hampshire, the crisis has led to record sales numbers in 2021. Rapid initial design contributed ...

HT Motor Reaches Over 2 Million Cycles

New high torque servo motors have long life.

CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA – In an internal test, SMAC’s HT35 Motor has reached over 2.3 million cycles, marking a new record for the devices. In related news, the HT55 motor has reached 1.4 million cycles and running. One of the key reasons for such high cycle life is the patented SMAC “Soft-Land” feature. Soft-Land is a patented unique routine which allows an SMAC actuator ...

The SMAC Optical Encoder Story

SMAC setup their own Encoder manufacturing group SMAC-EMC, to design, build and test their own line of optical encoders.

The SMAC Optical Encoder Story: SMAC has designed and built Motion Controllers, Linear and Rotary Motors and Linear Actuators for over 25 years. The most critical component inside the actuator is the optical encoder. SMAC decided to design and build their own diffractive optical encoder over 10 years ago. SMAC relied on the standard product models of several encoder ma...
