Gripper series MHF, low profile design, saves space, reduces bending moments and improves accuracy with smooth operation. Available with three standard stroke lengths (short, medium, long) for each bore size.

The RMH Air Grippers are a specialist tool “Plug & Play” for collaborative robots. Operation is possible simply by connecting 1 air supply and 1 electrical wire. Built-in manual changer allows for easy tool changing and labor saving. The RMH series can be used with the collaborative robots of 12 companies UNIVERSAL ROBOTS, OMRON/TECHMAN ROBOT, FANUC, YASKAWA Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, HAN’S ROBOT, KUKA, DOOSAN ROBOTICS, SIASUN, JAKA, AUBO, ABB. The RMHZ2 series offers high rigidity and precision, achieved by integrating the guide and finger.

The CRA1-Z rack and pinion actuator offers compact auto switches which can be mounted from the front with width reduction by 14mm.  Bore sizes on standard model are 30, 50, 63, 80, and 100mm.  The angle adjustable type, CRA1**U-Z, has been added to the line in bore sizes 50, 63, 80 and 100. Units may be ordered auto-switch capable and with replaceable cushions.  Many variations of the shaft types are available.   

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. Auto switches are available.

The MSQ compact rotary table is ideal for material transfer applications.  The MSQ incorporates load bearings and a mounting face with a rack-and-pinion style rotary actuator allowing for 0-190 degrees of adjustment.  The series comes in four size options (10, 20, 30, and 50).  The new MSQ comes with an optional interchangeable table and plate for easy mounting.  Cushion pads, bumpers, or replaceable high allowable energy shock absorbers are available as standard options.  Auto switch capability with D-M9 or D-A9 switches.  Additional features include a hollow shaft and direct load mounting possibility.  New features of the series include: compact and lightweight, and expanded low speed ranges, optional interchange plate, and an enlarged center hole for piping.

The IBV series impact blow valve brings increased impact force and high peak pressure to instantaneous air blow applications. Using short, powerful bursts of air as opposed to a continuous blow, the IBV saves air consumption while providing removal of chips and liquids from work surfaces. It is available with an solenoid control valve or as an air operated model.

The Compact Compressor CRP series supplies compressed air in an environment with no air source and can also function as a vacuum pump, generating vacuum without the use of a vacuum ejector. The CRP series is suitable for all industries, particularly collaborative robots, industrial robots, and transport robots such as automated guided vehicles, AGV, and autonomous mobile robots, AMR. The CRP series is an Oil-free reciprocating compressor. A single unit can be used to provide positive or vacuum pressure.

The Air Management System is available in two basic configurations that vary by the standby regulator used.  The A type utilizes the electro-pneumatic regulator while the B type uses the manual type standby regulator.  Both types include an isolation valve and can be configured as remotes (SA) or as fieldbus connected bases (EN, PN).  The hubs have an extra IO link port for connection to additional devices that can communicate through the system.

SMC has improved product performance and reliability with the redesigned SY series valve.  The SY3000 and SY5000 have the same valve width as their predecessors, but the flow has been increased by up to 80%, allowing the valve size to be reduced. A built-in strainer in the pilot valve prevents trouble caused by foreign matter. By using H-NBR seal material for the main valve and seals, Ozone resistance has been improved.   Side, top and bottom port/pipe directions are available to allow flexible installation.  The SY is available in body ported or base mounted styles, and can be used individually or manifold mounted.

SMC's VP300/500/700 series solenoid valve, offers high flow capacity and reduced power consumption (1.55W standard, 0.55W with power saving circuit).  The VP series may be used as either a selector valve, or a divider valve.  It is available in a normally closed or a normally open style. The series is vacuum applicable up to –101.2kPa.

JSX series is a 2-port direct operated solenoid valve for air, water, steam, vacuum and oil. It has standard stainless-steel enclosure to have superior resistance to both corrosion and water. JSX series utilizes new coil technology to maximize magnetic efficiency and reduced energy consumption. Internal stopper is utilized to reduce metal noise and longer service life.

The VX2 series is 2 port direct solenoid valve for general purpose air, medium vacuum and water. Available body materials include resin, aluminum, brass or stainless steel with port size up to 1/2 inch. Resin body is offered with one touch fitting to reduce installation time. It is also available as a manifold to reduce piping.

The AF-D series of modular air filters brings a modern appearance to SMC's line of filters while maintaining the high performance of our other series.  These 5 μm units can serve as appropriate filtration for many applications or as a pre-filter for fine filtration/coalescing units.  The transparent bowl guard on the size 30 and larger provides improved environmental protection as well as full view of the bowl contents.

The AR-D series of modular air regulators brings a modern appearance to SMC's line of regulators while maintaining the high performance of our other series.  Its 125 psi maximum set pressure and range of standard features make it ideal for most applications.  The new handle design make these units easier to adjust than previous models.  The AR-D is currently available in three body sizes with more to come in the near future.

For applications requiring micro-mist separation up to .01µm with adjustable pressure regulation, the AWD offers these features built into one unit. This combination of products saves space and mounting hardware. Available with ports from 1/8 to 1/2 with NPT, Rc and G (PF) threads as standard. The many options available such as auto-drain, gauge, variety of bowl choices and regulation set pressures make this series easy to configure to your application.

The AM*-D mist separators are designed for modular connectability and to match the aesthetics of the AC-D series of FRL components.  Flow capabilities are improved beyond the legacy AM series for extended applicability.  These coalescing filters are nominally rated at 0.1 micron for an initial stage of oil removal after a particulate filter.

The VHS series provides a convenient means of isolating supplied pressure in a pneumatic system and exhausting downstream pressure for maintenance purposes.  The units can be locked in the exhaust position and can be an integral part of an energy isolation system.  Air flow direction is easily identified by handle orientation and labelling.
