Simple electric cylinder available in two body types can operate like a pneumatic cylinder.

SMC Pneumatics has launched the LZ for machine builders looking for a simple electric cylinder that can operate like a pneumatic cylinder.

Available in two body types, with lead screw and motors size options, the 12 models in the LZ series cylinder range are all powered by 24V DC motors, which provide stable and efficient end-to-end performance.

For use with an LC3F directional control driver that can be operated just like a solenoid valve, using simple on-off signals, operational speeds of up to 200mm/s and thrusts up to 196N are possible.

The output thrust can be easily altered by adjusting its fully integrated trimmer switch.

With multiple mounting choices including foot, front flange and front trunnion and either fully or partly covered cylinder body options, stroke lengths can be selected up to 200mm.
