By contrast, the SMAC Measurement Tool has a direct drive linear motor and hence has no backlash. SMAC s exclusive Soft-Land technology means that an actuator can move slowly out - gently bump into the surface to be measured - stop and apply a desired push or pull force to be used during measurement. There is no manual operation involved. The SMAC Measurement Tool uses a built-in encoder with 1 micron or 0.1 micron resolution. This means 3 decimal point measurement. Further, it can measure both vertically or horizontally. The measurement data can be automatically uploaded to data collection devices. Machine operators can be quickly taught to make the measurements - no high degree of technical expertise is required.

Affectionately known among SMAC Engineers as the LVDT Killer, the SMAC MSA/MLA series was born to compete directly against LVDT s and provide a complete measuring solution improving on the value seen with traditional LVDT solutions. While the LVTD has served various industries for well over 50 years, little more advancement other than miniaturization and IP protection has come about in that time. Most applications require added cost over and above what the traditional Linear Variable Differential Transformers can provide. Some of these attributes are better linear resolution, longer strokes, programmable motion, Soft-Land, speed control, industrial robustness, longer life and price, all of which SMAC provides.
