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)

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)

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)

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)

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, furnishes 4 new larger sized voice coil motors that possess force values ranging from 36 newtons (8.1 pounds) from model VM4632 (1.85 inches OD by 1.26 inches long) up to 150 newtons (31.5 pounds) from model VM8054 (3.15 inches OD by 2.13 inches long). The VM4632 voice coil motor model provides a 0.4 inch stroke with a 210 watt input at 10% duty cycle. Con... (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)
