(127.0 mm) long and feature positioning resolutions of 30 microns and just 1 micron respectively. These precision stages allow the user to select the level of precision needed for […]
Compact voice-coil motors from Moticont with 1.0-in. diameters for myriad stroke requirements
Moticont now sells linear voice coil motors (LVCMs) in two 1-in. (25.4-mm) diameter motors. • The LVCM-025-022-01 has a stroke length of 0.375 in. (9.5 mm) a mid-stroke length of 1.30 in. (33 mm) and a high-force-to-size ratio of 16.9 oz (4.7 N) and a peak force of 53.5 oz. (14.9 N) at 10% duty […]
Voice coil actuator basics
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 […]
Direct drive linear motors with integrated encoders offer high resolution
The new, SDLM-025-070-01-01 direct drive linear motor from Moticont, also known as an electric cylinder, has a built-in encoder, zero backlash, zero cogging, and provides users with high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, and long life. This direct drive linear motor features 1.25 µm (0.000049 in.) in of resolution. This compact direct drive linear motor […]
Economical direct drive linear motors feature: High speed, no backlash, and zero cogging!
MotiCont’s DDLMs (Direct Drive Linear Motors) eliminate backlash and provide an economical solution for users requiring high acceleration, high speed, and long life. They are available in three popular off-the-shelf models. The compact DDLM-019-044-01, linear motor is only 0.75 in. (19.1 mm) in diameter and 1.75 in. (44.5 mm) long. It has a stroke of 0.46 […]
