Voice coil actuator basics

August 25, 2016 By Danielle Collins 4 Comments

voice coil

Voice coil actuators are a type of direct drive mechanism that provides extremely precise positioning over small displacements. Like linear motors, they work on the principle of a permanent magnet field and a coil winding. When a current is applied to the coil, a force is generated. This force, known as the Lorentz force, is […]
