BEI Kimco introduced a new moving magnet voice coil actuator with a flexure design that ensures high alignment accuracy by preventing unwanted shaft rotation. The new VCA provides long life and is ideally suited where extreme precision is required, such as in medical equipment, laboratory instrumentation, clean rooms, low-outgassing, and aerospace applications. Key Features Incorporates…

BEI Kimco has met the high-performance motor requirements for laboratory centrifuge machines. Centrifuges are used in biology, chemistry and hospital labs to rapidly spin and separate liquid samples into layers for analysis. BEI Kimco was challenged to develop motors that would deliver the high speeds needed for two centrifuge manufacturers, while at the same time…

BEI Kimco developed a new Linear Voice Coil Actuator (VCA) that provides extremely low hysteresis/low friction with precise and consistent bi-directional position control. Initially designed to meet the exacting requirements of an anesthesia machine, the new LAH15-19-000A VCA will serve well for many other applications where low-friction and high-force accuracy are needed. Key to the…

BEI Kimco has recently improved its Voice Coil Actuator (VCA) developer’s kit to include three new actuator sizes with greater force and stroke capabilities to provide a broader diversity in off-the-shelf selection. The original developer’s kit was designed to make building prototypes easier for people unfamiliar with VCA technology. The complete “solution-in-a-box” bypasses the learning…
