LET-X11 large slider type actuator

SMC Corporation has recently added the biggest electric actuator to its range to date — the LET-X11 large slider type actuator.

The LET-X11 series has been designed to meet customer demand for a larger electric actuator to move heavy loads and fill the final gap in SMC’s electric actuator range.

With a stroke up to 3000 mm (standard), the series is designed to handle a workload of 240 kg in the horizontal position and 70 kg in the vertical position. Despite its size, it is designed to remain agile, achieving a maximum speed of 4000 mm/s (size 100) and 2160 mm/s (size 80), with a maximum acceleration/deceleration of up to 20,000 mm/s².

The series is available for ordering in two ways: with SMC’s AC Servo Motor and Drivers and as a motorless component. The motorless option is compatible with 18 motor brands — suitable for users who want to use their own preferred AC servo motors and drivers.

In addition, it has a low profile and low centre of gravity. The low profile is designed to enhance its compact design while the low centre of gravity increases the Dynamic Allowable Moment.

Ease of maintenance as a key benefit. The unit has a large opening in the housing that makes it easier to replace the timing belt.
