Let’s break down some equipment details for these SMC Pneumatics products and more.
Choose SMC Pneumatics Quick Exhaust Valves Over Versa Options
SMC Pneumatics offers Quick Exhaust valves that we feel confident in recommending over Versa counterparts any day. We offer quick exhaust valves that deliver a big flow capacity to your system with a super strong lightweight body. Get your parts with the configurations you need, including lip, diaphragm, and inline body shapes all built with easy one-touch fitting systems. We offer a wide range of port sizes.
What Are Quick Exhaust Valves For?
Quick exhaust valves are for operations in which air must be evacuated from a given space quickly and efficiently. They come in a range of shapes and sizes. Sometimes they are used to increase the speed of a moving cylinder by evacuating air from the atmosphere, thus boosting the reaction time of the cylinder rod or valve actuator.
Shuttle Valves With One-Touch Fittings: An Affordable Alternative To Versa Valves
We offer you shuttle valves with 3 ports that, in our humble opinion, make an affordable alternative to Versa valves. Our valves feature one output and two pneumatic signal and input ports. High-pressure inlets provide consistent output. The VR12**F series are used to interrupt control of air pressure signal system lines. It is possible to pipe any position thanks to the one-touch fitting that makes piping connections easy. The VR2110 time delay valve has a combination of an adjustable orifice and a fixed flow that lets pneumatic signals be transmitted after a given period of town.
What Are Shuttle Valves For?
A shuttle valve is a unit that lets fluid run through it from either one or two sources. Typically, you will find shuttle valves are used in pneumatic systems, but you will find them in hydraulic systems from time to time as well. Shuttle valves are super common components of a large range of pneumatic systems.
Parallel Style Air Gripper With Dust Covers: Excellent Option When Compared With Versa Options
This MHQJ2 gripper is an excellent option over Versa for any pneumatic system. These grippers may be acquired in:
- Standard rubber
- Fluorurubber
- Silicone rubber
We offer this in three bore sizes:
- 10mm
- 16mm
- 20mm
- 25mm
All of these pieces are auto switch capable.
What Are Air Grippers For?
Air grippers are a common type of pneumatic equipment. They are often used in “pick and place” operations, or those in which an item is picked up and placed elsewhere, within industrial systems such as manufacturing. These pieces of equipment often perform either parallel or angular motions. You will see some grippers that interact with the objects they grip directly. The pneumatic air pressure is used to adjust the force the gripper places on the object of its actions. Grippers display a large range of variety in terms of the opening size of its gripping appendages, which are commonly referred to as “tooling jaws or fingers.” The grippers themselves come in a range of sizes, from those small enough to grab a transistor chip or circuit board for computers and small electronics, or far larger grippers that can move manifolds, engine blocks, and other components of cars. One fun place you might have seen grippers is on industrial robots, which use them as surrogates for appendages.
Step Motor Controllers: Top Quality Pneumatic Parts We Recommend Over Versa Alternatives
SMC Pneumatics offers the JXCL1, a step motor controller we recommend over Versa alternatives to just about any client for the 24DC step motors of the LE series electric actuators. This controller functions with the IO-Link communication protocol, and you can monitor status, reset alarms, set step data, and monitor input motion controls right from the HMI screen of the PLC when you have the IO-Link master. You get a whole range of parameter settings with this piece. The IO-Link lets settings recover when you are adjusting the controller for any reason.
Air Cylinders That Offer An Excellent Alternative To Versa Products
SMC Pneumatics offers you an excellent alternative to Versa products of all kinds, including air cylinders. The design of the piston seal and rod design offer an excellent life span, making these pieces a great long term investment in your infrastructure. The transparent auto switch bracket offers visible status updates for the switch. The CM2-Z series offers extra flexibility in terms of male and female rods. When you are pressed for room in your system, you can choose the shorter female rods or the boss-cut type. Both come with the standard rubber bumpers. Both come with a range of mounting options.
What Are Air Cylinders Used For?
Air cylinders are also referred to as pneumatic cylinders, and these piece of mechanical equipment are used to generate a reciprocating linear motion using the force of compressed gas. Similarly to hydraulic cylinders, the compressed gas force drives a piston in the necessary direction when operated. The piston is either a cylinder or a disc, while the piston rod delivers force from the machinery to the object that must be moved. These cylinders are a favorite among pneumatic engineers because they are clean, quiet, and they don’t need too much storage space. What’s more, the unit operates using very little gas, which means the fluid storage is very convenient as well. This fluid is gas of course, so leakage from a pneumatics cylinder will not drip out and contaminate the surroundings. This is such an important feature to bring to pneumatic systems that can be corrupted by leakages relatively easily, and require super clean systems to operate. For a very fun and flashy example, the puppets at the Tiki room in Disney operate using pneumatics in order to prevent fluid and condensation from dripping onto the spectators and visitors below the show.
