A miniature, high force-to-size linear voice coil servo motor, the LVCM-013-013-03M (Metric version) has been released by Moticont. The new motor has 12.7mm (0.500") diameter and a high-force-to-size ratio of 1.42N (5.1oz) and a peak force of 4.48N (16.1oz) at a 10% duty cycle. Operated in a closed servo loop as a DC servo motor, this miniature linear servo motor exhibits high accuracy and high repeatability. Features of this clean brushless linear servo actuator include: Zero cogging, quiet, low inertia, high acceleration/deceleration, high reliability, and efficient operation.
Known also as moving coil motor or linear actuator, the LVCM-013-013-03M has a 3.2mm (0.125") stroke and is just 19.0mm (0.75") long at mid-stroke. It can be integrated into new and existing applications and is a replacement for pneumatic actuators. The high force-to-size make it the practical choice for: Scanners, laser beam steering and filtering, haptic feedback, dynamic vibration absorption and image stabilization, dispensing, work holding and clamping, assembly, testing, and wafer handling.
The, Made in the USA, LVCM-013-013-03M has M3X0.5 threaded holes in the center of the housing and the coil end for easy integration into new or existing applications.
Single or multi-axis plug-and-play Servo Controllers, and Linear Encoders are also available for all Moticont linear motors.
Is there a need for a smaller or larger diameter motor, one with longer travel, or more force? There are 12 series of LVCM motors based on the diameter of the motors, and over 50 models based on length of stroke and/or force to select from.
