Rotary Actuators
Rotary Actuators are available in two main styles: Rack and Pinion and Vane. These actuators are ideal for applications requiring rotational motion of less than one full revolution. Unlike linear cylinders, which require long stroke lengths to achieve similar motion, rotary cylinders can be mounted directly at the equipment joint, saving valuable space. SMC offers pneumatic rotary actuators that are capable of achieving arc lengths of 90°, 180°, 190°, and up to 270°, depending on the model configuration. This flexibility allows for precise alignment and rotation tailored to specific application needs.
