SMAC Expands Electric Actuator Family to Include New LBR40 Series Linear Rotary Servo Actuator

Electromate LBR40

August 17, 2020

The LBR40 is a slim, stackable linear rotary actuator with a SMAC HT35 direct drive brushless motor. Encoder resolutions are available from 5 micron to 1um for application flexibility to optimize on position control. Priced competitively with the added benefit of real time feedback of data required to assure quality. IP67 protection is available as well as a built-in controller with popular communication protocols.

The LBR provides a long life cycle, high linear force and rotary torque, and is specifically designed for Capping, Thread Inspection, and Smart Screw Driving applications.
