L4 Series Electric Linear Actuators

  • Rotation Slide

    SMD Series Integrated Motors

    For less than the cost of a separate controller, drive, and motor, AMCI’s SMD Series integrated stepper motors provide simple motion control at the right price, and are available with a wide variety of sizes, torque options, and features for any application.
    Prices start at $514/axis.

  • Built-in controller saves space
  • Dual-port networking offers offers DLR for EtherNet/IP & MRP for Profinet
  • Multi-protocol - EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, & Profinet networks built-in
  • Standard sizes (easy to replace pneumatics)
  • High level of precision and repeatability
  • Supports wide-ranging operations with longer strokes
  • Payloads and speeds increase thanks to higher output
  • Wide selection of options & accessories

    Description

    L4 Series Electric Linear Actuators

    The Package

    Transform your factory with AMCI’s space-saving, energy-improving, smart electric linear actuators paired with our own integrated stepper or servo motors to provide guaranteed compatibility.

    AMCI’s Smart Electric Linear Actuators & Integrated Motors combination can be connected to a PLC via the network. Unlike other products that require a separate software package for configuration or operation, AMCI’s PLC-based products are programmed using your PLC’s software, so there's nothing new to buy or learn!

    Motor Integration

    AMCI's integrated motors incorporate a stepper or servo motor + drive + controller into a single product that interfaces to your PLC or PAC over the network (EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, and Profinet). These are self-contained motion control products that are easy to install while delivering best in class performance at a competitive price.

    Extras:

    E2-logo-50x50px.gifE2 Technology by AMCI is an innovative new multi-protocol approach to Ethernet distributed I/O.  Supported protocols include EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, and PROFINET.

    Native Software

    fault-tolerant-network-logo-icon.pngAMCI's integrated motors have a built-in Ethernet switch. The embedded switch provides a network connection for additional devices without increasing the nodes on your existing ethernet switch. Fault tolerant connections can detect a break in the network and redirect the network traffic maintaining communication and system up-time.  See the DLR video tutorial in the resources section of our website to learn more.

    synchrostep-logo.pngAMCI’s SynchroStep technology enables coordinated motion control between the integrated motor and Allen-Bradley motion axes (servo, VFD,  etc). The integrated motor can be synchronized and geared to a master Virtual axis within the PLC, filling a gap that currently exists in the industry for small, inexpensive synchronized motion solution offerings. This unique approach to PLC-integration simplifies configuration, programming, and coordinated motion.
