BEI Kimco Magnetics offers a line of rotary voice coil actuators. Our voice coil actuators are cog free, hysteresis free and have a simple, two-wire control characteristic. (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)

VISTA, Calif., – November 24, 2008–BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), has introduced a new family of Linear Voice Coil Actuators that provides increased safety and long service life. The new family features two patented spring designs based on magnetic, rather than mechanical technology. (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)
