Intelligent Actuator (IAI America) Products Delivered by MaximSystems
Maxim Systems provides access to IAI’s most popular and innovative series:

ROBO Cylinder®
The ROBO Cylinder® electric actuator is a flexible, intelligent, and economical ballscrew linear actuator from Intelligent Actuator Inc. IAI America’s signature ROBO Cylinder® electric actuators are engineered to replace pneumatic cylinders with programmable, precise and energy efficient electric actuators. Equipped with rod, slider, rotary or gripper types, ROBO Cylinders offer extended service life, comparable performance and greater flexibility compared to air cylinders.
ELECylinder®
ELECYLINDER (Electric Cylinder), IAI’s new simple electric linear actuator series is operated only by ON/OFF signal like solenoid valves. It’s easy to operate for beginners of electric actuators too.
You can adjust AVD (A=Acceleration, V=Velocity, D=Deceleration) individually by input percentage. It can start/stop at high speed smoothly. Cycle-time and trouble recovery time will be reduced.
Cartesian Robots / Multi-axis Actuators
IAI America’s cartesian robots are Pre-configured cartesian robots that reduce installation and setup times. Many variations are available to support 2 to 6 axis configurations. The multi-slider types let you reduce space and cycle time. You can customize the optimum model that suits your specific needs.
Linear Servo Actuators
IAI’s linear servo actuators offer maximum load capacity up to 120kg and maximum strokes of up to 4m, keeps high speed and precision at long strokes and also supports high accelerations of up to 3G and high speeds up to 2.5m/s where multi-slider types supporting synchronized operation are also available.
SCARA Robots
IAI SCARA robots achieve high speeds and repeatability even with low cost models. Easy programming makes these actuators much more user-friendly. Many variations are available to support arm lengths of 250 to 800mm.
Table Top Robots
Tabletop robots are the all-in-one robots that are ideal for cell production and R&D applications. They are equipped with a rigid base, stepper control motor and an encoder. Achieve high tracing precision and constant speed operation. All models come with a built-in XSEL controller.
ROBO Cylinder Electric Gripper and Rotary Type Actuators
ROBO cylinder electric gripper and rotary type Actuators from Intelligent Actuator Inc, are one of the first class electromechanical systems specifically designed for precision automation tasks. It is ideal for small application cases in which precise handling, position, rotation are required.
Cleanroom Actuators
IAI America offers a comprehensive range of cleanroom-compatible actuators designed for high-precision applications such as semiconductor manufacturing, electronics assembly, and medical device production.
These actuators are engineered to meet stringent cleanliness standards, ensuring minimal particle generation and reliable performance in controlled environments.
