BEI Kimco Magnetics 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)

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)

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)

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 motor featuring cog-free, hysteresis free motion with high acceleration capability. (read more)

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)

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., – October 2, 2008–BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), has introduced a new compact sized, high force, cylindrical Voice Coil Actuator (VCA) in response to market demand for improved consistency and precision in valve control and beam steering applications. (read more)

This Linear Positioning Stage is ideal for sort stroke, (typically less than 2 inches) precision positioning and scanning applications. The voice coil linear actuator is non-commutated thus eliminating the force and velocity ripple characteristics typical of commutated motors. (read more)

High resolution, compact, voice coil stages with no force or velocity ripple for very smooth motion, are ideal for precise motion control applications such as scanning, lens grinding, and laser and mirror positioning. These motion control stages offer high force output per weight, and footprint. (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)
