BEI Kimco Magnetics Division announces availability of the LA50-65-001A Model. This voice coil actuator is one of Kimco's largest and most powerful linear actuators. The LA50-65-001A has a diameter of 5" and a linear stroke of 1" (i.e. +/-.5" from mid-stroke). (read more)

Gee Plus Inc. of Elgin, South Carolina, announces the new VM2436 voice coil actuator that provides precision bidirectional linearity over a maximum linear stroke of 0.59 inches. (read more)

H2W Technologies Non commutated DC Linear (NC) Actuators are ideal for short stroke (typically less than 2 inches) closed loop servo applications. Their compact size allows them to fit into small spaces. They have very low electrical and mechanical time constants. The low moving mass allows for high accelerations of light payloads. (read more)

BEI Kimco introduces its housed voice coil actuator (VCA) with an integrated position sensor. A smart voice coil actuator integrates a position feedback sensor for servo positioning or velocity control. It can be mounted into hand-held wands and used in reciprocal medical applications like skin-abrasion and tissue stimulation. (read more)

TWO ACTUATOR MODELS IN THE LA15-16 LINE

BEI Kimco Magnetics model LA15-16-020A is a two-wire non-commutated direct drive linear voice coil servo actuator featuring cog-free, hysteresis free motion with high acceleration capability. (read more)

In addition to giving space and cost savings, the new range of voice coil actuators from Geeplus can provide >100N peak force over a 10mm stroke. By providing a force which is proportional to the operating current, the actuators are ideally suited for applications needing controlled movement combined with low noise or low impact. (read more)

Linear motion voice coil motors have been developed by Gee Plus Inc., located in Elgin, South Carolina. Seven models ranging in size from the smallest (VM1614) 0.63" diameter by 0.55" long to the largest (VM8054) 3.15" diameter by 2.13" long provide precision linear actuation over short distances or strokes. The linear motion force profile is constant and linear over a wide range ... (read more)

Voice coil motors offer excellent control characteristics where linear actuation is required over short distances with electronic control systems. Comparison of the force characteristics vs displacement, and vs current, for voice coil devices and solenoid actuators shows the difference between these devices. (read more)

This Moving Magnet Voice Coil Linear Actuator is ideal for short stroke applications that require the simplicity and small size of a solenoid or a pneumatic actuator but require the controllability of a servo. (read more)

This Moving Magnet Voice Coil Linear Actuator is a compact direct drive linear actuator that can be controlled like a servo motor. It eliminates the complexity of rotary-to-linear actuators and offers greater controllability when compared to solenoids and pneumatic actuators. Unlike a solenoid, the Linear Actuator produces a constant force regardless of actuator position. (read more)
