Rack and Pinion

CRA1


The CRA1 rack & pinion rotary actuator offers very high torque-to-size and accurate positioning. Bore sizes are 30, 50, 63, 80 and 100mm. Units may be ordered auto-switch capable and with cushions. Dimensions range from 3" X 4" X 2" to a maximum of 8" X 9.65" X 4.41". Single shaft end or double shaft end models are available.

CRJ


n our pursuit of excellence in size and weight reduction, we proudly announce the release of the CRJ series, mini-rotary actuator. A new compact body design not only reduces overall space requirements, but also achieves space savings in wiring and piping. Ease in mounting is maximized thanks to the merits of the new compact body. Large roller bearing and large diameter output shaft add to overall compactness while ensuring high rigidity.

CRQ


The CRQ2 series is a compact rotary, rack and pinion style actuator. Single and double shaft types are available in all sizes (10~40mm).  The CRQ2 uses internal cushioning and the body can be used as a flange. The use of a double piston eliminates backlash. CRQ2X low speed rotary actuator is also available.  Auto switches are available.

MSQ


The MSQ compact rotary table is ideal for material transfer applications. It incorporates load bearings and a mounting face with a rack-and-pinion style rotary actuator. The seven sizes are 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100, and 200 with rotational adjustments from 0-190 degrees, and auto switch capability. Additional features include a hollow shaft and direct load mounting possibility.  MSQX low speed rotary table is also available.

MSZ


Manufacturers who incorporate work piece selection or separation in their production process now have a unique, cost effective, solution thanks to development engineers from SMC, the world’s leading automation experts, and their new 3-position rotary table, Series MSZ. This latest rotary actuator can be adjusted to stop at three different positions within a 190º radius and does not require either a electric motor or any complex machinery to function, only compressed air. Designed initially for the selection and separation of work pieces to either the left or right, the rotary table is controlled via a single 3-position solenoid valve ensuring simple setup and operation. Currently available in two model types – basic and high accuracy, for higher loads and reduced table deflection, – Series MSZ can be ordered in four different sizes and are designed to work with an operating pressure range of between 0.2 to1 MPa. With an allowable kinetic energy of 7, 25, 48 and 81 mJ and an effective torque at 0.5MPa of 1, 2, 3 and 5 Nm respectively, a load can be mounted directly on the table for simplicity.
