Specialty Actuators

When your application demands tasks that standard air cylinders cannot achieve, SMC is equipped to provide a tailored solution. SMC's array of specialty air cylinders includes options such as Sine (for smooth acceleration), Load Stopping, and Clamping, among others. For instance, the transportation of fragile items often necessitates more precise control over cylinder speed, acceleration, and deceleration than standard pneumatic cylinders can offer. To address this, SMC has developed the RE series of sine cylinders, which are designed to handle high-speed transportation tasks with exceptionally smooth actuation, mimicking a sine wave.

For more complex or demanding applications, our extensive engineering department is ready to customize a solution specifically for your needs. Whether you require a special modification of our standard pneumatic rotary actuator or a bespoke three-stop rotary unit, we have the capability and expertise to develop a product that perfectly aligns with your custom requirements.
