The new EQ series of slide-type and rod-type electric actuators from SMC feature a fully integrated controller, providing a simpler to set-up, easier-to-use, space-saving solution that simultaneously helps users to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions. As a further advantage, EQ series electric actuators offer straightforward control with simple and exclusive software which helps users to start the actuators working via a single screen in just three steps. First, users choose ‘set operation mode’, before specifying the stopping positions and finally defining the speed, acceleration and deceleration values. It is no more complex than controlling a two- or three-position solenoid valve.

The new JSB series angle seat valve from SMC offers a number of key advantages to OEMs and end users alike, combining long service life, low pressure loss and compact dimensions with a high flow rate. Suitable for use with steam, water and air, optimisation of the JSB’s body flow profile ensures this space-saving valve can deliver the same flow rate as larger counterparts and, in turn, support system energy savings.
