SMC manufactures a wide array of automation technologies for machine builders. Compressed air, coolants, and other fluids must be filtered, monitored, distributed and temperature controlled. We offer a complete range of world-class actuators, valves, sensors, industrial filters, fittings, regulators, temperature control devices, and more.
 
The sampling of products below demonstrates how SMC continually innovates to meet the evolving needs of the machine tool industry. Featured products are categorized by compressed air line, coolant line, and hydraulic line application.
 
Compressed Air Line
 
 
RHC High Powered Cylinder
High speed or high load cylinder applications frequently require additional speed and flow control devices to control the stopping of the load. SMC's RHC series features a longer cushion design which is capable of stopping heavy or high speed loads while maintaining the simplicity of a standard air cushion cylinder. This enhanced cushion allows the kinetic distance, which results in the ability to absorb up to 23.8 ft-lb of energy and operate reliably at speeds up to 118 in/sec. Even with the improved performance of the RHC, cushion adjustment remains as simple as adjusting the cushion needle valve. 
 
Coolant Line
 
 
SGC Coolant Valve
Series SGC coolant valve, with both CE and RoHS accreditation, provides the perfect solution for high speed machining. Due to the SGC’s unique scraper, squeeze seal, grease channel and dry bearing construction, the valve’s service life will exceed 5 million cycles. The introduction of a built-in magnet allows auto switches to be fitted, enabling confirmation of whether the valve is open or closed.
 
Hydraulic Line
 
 
CH Hydraulic Cylinders
CH series hydraulic cylinders are available in compact, round body, JIS or tie-rod types. Nominal pressure ranges from 3.5MPa to 16MPa. Bore sizes are available, depending on the series, from 20 to 160. Auto switches are available on most models.
 
Temperature Control
 
 
HRS Compact Chiller
HRS compact recirculating chillers are designed to meet the widest range of single-point applications in both industrial and technology settings. The package design is robust enough for the factory, yet ergonomic and compact for lab installations. Coolant can be either heated or cooled within the set temperature range. Choose from six cooling capacities, air or water cooled refrigerant, and global power supply options. This model is compatible with 100 VAC power.
