A new linear dc motor driven stage from Moticont features one-micron resolution. The high performance VCDS-025-038-02-B1-01 linear voice coil stage features high speed, high acceleration/deceleration, zero backlash, smooth motion, precise positioning, high reliability, and low cost. This non-commutated stage is also clean-room friendly.

This compact linear voice coil (also called a moving coil) stage is just 127.0 mm (5.000 in.) long by 50.8 mm (2.000 in.) wide by 54.0 mm (2.125 in.) high. The travel length is 24.6 mm (0.97 in.) with a continuous force rating of 4.6 N (1.0 lb.) and a peak force of 14.4 N (3.2 lb.) at a 10% duty cycle. This compact voice coil stage is suitable for applications such as positioning, assembly, laser cutting, welding and drilling, clamping, medical diagnostics and testing, and wafer handling.

The VCSD-025-038-02-B1-01 linear voice coil stage features an optical quadrature encoder, home switch, and cross roller bearing linear guides. Easily accessible countersunk holes in the base allows for flexible and easy integration into new and existing applications. The 50.4 mm (2.000 in.) by 38.3 mm (1.509 in.) table has a pattern of 8-32 UNC-2B threaded mounting holes for mounting tooling or fixtures.

If a longer travel, higher force or multi-axis configuration are required, consult Moticont’s team of engineers.
