Secondary Battery
Actuators
Air cylinders and pneumatic actuators can support automation by enhancing productivity, increasing throughput, and improving worker safety.Ìý The 25A- series variations are designed using materials compatible with secondary battery applications, and are able to be used in low dew point environments.Ìý These actuators range from linear, guided, rodless, locking, clamp, and stopper styles, and are available with inch and metric dimensions, and as NFPA and ISO Standards.Ìý The line also includes related products such as shock absorbers and joints, also compatible with secondary battery applications.
Sensors and Switches
Industrial sensors and switches, sometimes referred to as transducers, installed in the factory automation space can provide essential machine feedback.Ìý They can monitor On/Off status, confirm operation within an optimal range, or measure real time operation e.g. pressure or flow.
Industrial sensors and switches can connect to a PLC or other central controller via fieldbus or IO link to enhance troubleshooting by decreasing diagnostic time.Ìý Sensors can also become the data source for providing better predictive analytics integral to industrial internet of Things (ll0T) or industry 4.0, all while potentially increasing worker safety.
The 25A- series variations are designed using material compatible with secondary battery applications and are able to be used in low dew point environments.Ìý The variations eliminate copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) material where possible, making them compatible with secondary battery manufacturing for electronics, automotive, and other vehicle types.
Directional Control Valve
SMC has improved product performance and reliability with the redesigned SY series valve, offering major advances in valve performance for cost-effective solutions.Ìý The series offers high flow with low power consumption in a compact, clean aesthetic design.Ìý It is available in body ported or base mounted styles and can be used individually or manifold mounted.Ìý The SY5000/7000 has the same valve width as it predecessors, but the flow has been increased by up to 80%, allowing for reduced valve size.Ìý A built-in strainer in the pillot valve prevents trouble caused by foreign matter.Ìý By using H-NBR seal material for the main valve and seals, Ozone resistance has been improved.Ìý Side, top and bottom port/pipe directions are available to allow flexible installation.Ìý

Air Dryer
Designed for convenient point of use drying without the need for electrical power, membrane dryers utilize hollow fiber membranes to remove water vapor from compressed air. Permeable to water vapor but not air, the IDG series can achieve pressure dew points as low as -44°F (-42°C) and ISO 8573-1 moisture classes from 2 to 6. They have no moving parts, vibration, or heat discharge and contribute only a small amount of purge air to their operating environment. The IDG series is available as single units or conveniently assembled with necessary pre-filtration and optional pressure regulation.

Electric Actuators
Electric linear actuators can push, pull, or transfer workloads differently than pneumatic actuators. Pneumatic actuators rely on relatively crude devices such as rubber cushions or shock absorbers, pressure regulators, and flow restricting fittings at the port to control their motion. By contrast, an electric actuator employs an electronically controlled motor and ballscrew to deliver a precise motion profile through acceleration, speed, and deceleration. Further, the controller can integrate multiple "stop" positions along the actuator's stroke with high precision and repeatability.
The 25A- series variations are compatible with secondary battery manufacturing for electronics automotive, and other vehicle types. Design goals include eliminating copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) material where possible and employing a low dew point grease that retains lubricity even in low manufacturing temperatures. Please note that copper and zinc materials are used for the motors, cables, controllers and drivers.
