Actuators

The “muscles” of the system. These components receive electrical or pneumatic signals and convert them into physical motion, such as opening a valve, moving a lever, or rotating a shaft.

Festo | Pneumatic & Electric Motion

Festo is the global leader in sophisticated pneumatic and electromechanical motion. They are sourced when precision meets high speed—particularly in packaging, biotech, and laboratory automation. They are known for their “ready-to-install” solutions and high-quality finishes that resist corrosion.

DSBC Series

Model Number: DSBC-32-100-PPVA-N3

Standardized profile cylinders (ISO 15552); self-adjusting cushioning (PPS); stroke up to 2800 mm.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • The PPS cushioning system automatically adapts to changes in load and speed, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.

  • High-alloy steel piston rods and anodized aluminum bodies provide excellent protection in humid or slightly acidic environments.

  • Compatible with a massive range of ISO-standard accessories, from swivel flanges to rod-end clevises.

ELGC / ELGS

Model Number: ELGC-TB-KF-45-800

Compact spindle or toothed-belt axes; integrated drive options; high-rigidity guide rails.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • The guide and drive elements are protected inside the housing, reducing the risk of contamination in dusty environments.

  • Motors can be mounted on any of the four sides, allowing the actuator to fit into extremely tight machine footprints.

  • Delivers positioning accuracy up to ±0.01 mm, making it ideal for high-precision assembly and testing stations.

SMC | Industrial Automation & Fluid Power

SMC is the world’s largest manufacturer of pneumatic components. They are the primary brand sourced for heavy-duty industrial lines due to their unmatched availability and the sheer breadth of their catalog. If a part needs to be “rugged and reliable,” SMC is the standard choice.

CP96 / C96

Model Number: CP96SDB40-100C

High-speed operation (up to 1000 mm/s); lightweight design; stroke lengths up to 2000 mm.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • Uses a unique profile design that reduces weight by up to 15% without sacrificing mechanical strength.

  • Integrated air cushions and elastic bumpers ensure quiet operation and longer seal life even at maximum speeds.

  • Features integrated slots on four sides for proximity sensors, allowing the PLC to track the exact position of the piston.

LEY / LEFS

Model Number: LEY25B-100BM

Rod-style (LEY) or Slider-style (LEFS); up to 64 positioning points; 24VDC or AC Servo motor versions.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • The rod-style LEY series can perform “pushing” operations similar to a pneumatic cylinder but with precise force control.

  • Available with battery-less absolute encoders, meaning the actuator remembers its position even after a power failure.

  • Easy configuration of up to 64 “Step Data” points (position, speed, acceleration) via simple setup software.
