Moticont has added Metric dimensioned motors to their LVCM Series of linear voice coil actuators. An example is the miniature LVCM-022-013-01M Linear Voice Coil Actuator. At 22.2 mm (0.875 in.) in diameter and at mid-stroke just 20.7 mm (0.81 in.) long, this new metric miniature voice coil actuator has a continuous force of 4.0 N (14.5 oz) and a peak force of 12.7 N (45.7 oz), and features a 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) stroke.
A true miniature brushless DC servo motor, the LVCM-022-013-01M Linear Voice Coil Actuator has high acceleration/deceleration and low inertia. Because this miniature brushless servo motor is clean, has high speed, zero cogging and is highly efficient, it is suitable for haptic feedback in medical/surgical instruments, assembly, work holding and clamping, sorting, laser machining and drilling, packaging, sampling, scanning, laser beam steering and filtering, vibration damping, wafer handling, and pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, the metric LVCM-016-010-01 Linear Actuator features very high accuracy and repeatability when operated as a DC servo motor in a closed servo loop. Each end of this linear actuator has two M3X0.5 threaded mounting holes in the housing and two M3X0.5 threaded mounting holes in the coil end on 9.5 mm (0.375 in.) centers for easy integration into new and existing applications. A complete plug-and-play servo controller is also available.
If there is a need for an even smaller or a larger diameter motor, one with longer travel or more force, select from the many choices available in this family of LVCM linear motors based on motor diameter, and over 50 models based on length of stroke and/or force to select from.
