The PFUW series is a clamp-on flow sensor designed for liquids. It offers a unique set of advantages due to its clamp mounting system, which eliminates the need for piping modification and direct fluid contact. The PFUW is mounted directly against the pipe, allowing installation in tight spaces, thus reducing installation space. The sensor enclosure is IP67 rated.

The ZP3P series is made of materials compliant with FDA (USA Food and Drug Administration) regulations and Food Sanitation Act standards. The blue colored pad can be easily distinguished during contamination inspections. The sealing skirt design reduces leakage and offers a better sealing performance for the film. Also incorporated into the design is a stopper support in the center to help wrinkle prevention on thin workpieces during adsorption. Learn more here: https://ow.ly/ubNi50ZY2x1

The IN574 Wireless Auto Switch enables cable-free cylinder position detection by combining Wireless Power Transfer (WTP) and wireless communication in one solution. The battery-less design removes the need for ongoing replacement and maintenance, while eliminating issues caused by wire disconnections or deterioration. This creates a more stable and simplified system layout with fewer failure points. The ability to power multiple switches from a single transmitter also supports flexible system expansion.

The CM5 Stainless Steel Cylinder is suited for machinery exposed to moisture, washdown conditions, and corrosive environments. Stainless steel external components help resist corrosion, while improved water-resistant models use a special scraper designed for increased durability. The compact design reduces overall size and weight compared to the previous CG5-S series, helping optimize machine layouts. Multiple mounting styles and bore sizes support consistent implementation across a range of automation equipment. Learn more: https://ow.ly/z95j50ZWjBE

When space is limited, performance doesn’t have to be. The CQE series is built upon the trusted CQ2 series with a polygonal piston design. This gives it up to 1.5x the theoretical output of a standard CQ2 in the same footprint. Available in bore sizes 20, 25, 32, and 40mm, with stroke lengths from 5 to 50mm. The piston rod is non-rotating as standard. Because the CQE reaches the same force output at a lower supply pressure, it fits into the 4BAR Factory approach -- SMC's concept for reducing compressed air supply pressure to the level actually needed for each application, which lowers energy use and CO2 emissions without a full equipment overhaul.
