Specified for the application

SMC began in Tokyo in 1959 as Shoketsu Kinzoku Kogyo, manufacturing sintered metal filters. Its corporate history records air-line equipment in 1961, pneumatic cylinders in 1970 and directional control equipment in 1971.

Read the full story

The manufacturer now supplies actuators, valves, air preparation and vacuum products for industrial automation. The cylinder range addresses different mounting, stroke, and load requirements. Directional valves control actuator motion, while vacuum products support picking and holding. Select the complete circuit using the required force or holding load, cycle time, available air supply, and control interface.
