Smart Linear Actuators
SMELA Intelligent Linear Actuators
SMELA liteECO intelligent linear actuators provide a compact and energy-efficient alternative to pneumatic cylinders for industrial automation applications. Using a patented telescopic design, these smart actuators deliver precise, repeatable linear motion while reducing installation space by up to 80% and energy consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional pneumatic solutions.
Available with integrated control options including EtherCAT, CANopen and digital I/O, SMELA actuators are ideal for machine building, packaging equipment, production lines and automated handling systems. Their high force density, fast positioning speeds and IP65-rated construction make them a reliable choice for modern OEM applications where performance, efficiency and compact design are essential.
