During the last few years most engineers would agree that machines have
generally become smaller, achieving better reliability with improved
accuracy.
Following industry requests for even more precision in both linear and
rotary actuator control, research and development teams from SMC
Pneumatics, the worlds leading automation experts, have once again
delivered the perfect solution Series IP8000/8100 Electro-pneumatic
Positioner.
Designed for use in non explosive atmospheres, with either single or
double acting actuators, this electronically controlled pneumatic
positioner is also available with a current output option to allow
remote position detection of the actuator. Of course SMC is offering an
ATEX certified version of this new series as well.
With improved visibility from its 43% larger gauges and with IP65
enclosure protection, this series of electro pneumatic positioners
uses the same mounting dimensions as SMC´s conventional IP6000 range,
making it a fully interchangeable option.
Available in either lever (IP8000) or rotary type (IP8100) feedback
models, these positioners require input current between 4 20Ma DC and
air pressure of 0.14 to 0.7 MPa.
Of course SMC is offering this new series as ATEX certified version as
well.
