SMC Rotary Actuators — CRB2 / MSQ Series
Compact pneumatic rotary actuators that convert compressed-air energy into controlled angular motion for indexing, transfer and orientation tasks. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as part of the genuine SMC pneumatic automation range.
Product Description
SMC Rotary Actuators convert pneumatic energy into precise, controlled angular motion for automation systems. The range spans compact vane-type actuators (CRB2) and rack-and-pinion rotary actuators (CRQ2, MSQ), built for reliable, repeatable indexing and orientation duty. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as a genuine SMC product for maintenance teams, panel builders and OEMs across India.
- Single-vane actuators rotate up to 270° using specially designed seals and stoppers
- Double-vane actuators are standardised for 90° and 100° rotation, offering twice the torque of single-vane types in the same footprint
- Rack-and-pinion (CRQ2 / MSQ) types offer low-profile design with internal cushioning and backlash-free double-piston operation
- MSQ compact rotary tables add integral load bearings and a mounting face for direct material-transfer duty
Applications
- Indexing and orienting components on transfer lines
- Pick-and-place workpiece rotation and flipping
- Valve and damper actuation
- Robotic end-of-arm tooling and material handling
- Packaging and assembly-line automation
- Rotary tables and positioning fixtures
