Choosing the right SMC series
Electric or pneumatic drive?
For fast, simple lifting and handling movements pneumatic cylinders are economical. If you need defined positions, variable speed or force control, electric drives are the better choice. The LEJB and LEJS series offer programmable positioning with a servo motor.
Belt or screw drive?
The decision follows speed, accuracy and load:
- Belt drive (LEJB): high travel speed and long strokes with moderate positioning accuracy.
- Screw drive (LEJS): high positioning accuracy and thrust, ideal for precise or heavier tasks.
Tubing for ultra-pure media
For chemical, semiconductor and analytical engineering, high-purity PFA tubing (TIL, TILM, TLM and TH series) is chemical-resistant and low in particles. Mind the metric or inch size and the right inside diameter for your fitting.
LEJB and LEJS electric drives compared
| Criterion | LEJB (belt) | LEJS (screw) |
|---|---|---|
| Drive type | Belt drive | Screw drive |
| Speed | high | moderate |
| Positioning accuracy | good | very high |
| Thrust | moderate | high |
| Stroke length | long | medium to long |
| Typical application | fast handling and transport | precise positioning and joining |

Frequently asked questions about SMC
Which products does SMC manufacture?
SMC is a Japanese manufacturer of pneumatic and industrial automation components. These include valves, cylinders, air preparation, fittings and sensors as well as electric drives.
What is the difference between the LEJB and LEJS series?
LEJB is an electric belt drive with linear guide for high travel speeds and long strokes. LEJS is an electric screw drive with AC servo motor and offers higher positioning accuracy and thrust.
What are the SMC PFA tubes suitable for?
The high-purity, chemical-resistant PFA tubing of the TIL, TILM, TLM and TH series suits applications with high purity requirements, for example in chemical, semiconductor and analytical engineering. It is available in metric and in inch versions.
What is an MQR series rotary joint?
An MQR rotary joint is a low-friction component with a metal seal that transfers compressed air from a stationary part of a machine to a rotating one without twisting the supply line.
