Moticont Expands Miniature Linear Voice Coil Motor Series

Moticont’s GVCM-016-010-01 Miniature Linear Voice Coil Motor (Linear DC Motor) has a high force to size ratio with 5.0 oz (1.4) continuous force and 15.7 oz (4.4 N) of peak force with a housing measuring just 0.625 in. (15.9 mm) dia. by 0.375 in. (9.5 mm) long. This motor features high acceleration/deceleration, high speed, high reliability, zero backlash  and a 0.125 inch (3.2 mm) stroke length. This very small brushless servo motor is an ideal low cost replacement for pneumatic linear actuators. 

Also called an electric cylinder, this linear actuator has a threaded 2-56 UNC-2A shaft for a backlash free connection.  The housing and coil each have 2 2-56-UNC-2B threaded mounting holes on 0.25 in (6.35 mm) centers. The built in centered shaft facilitates the commissioning of the motor for easy integration into current and future applications.

This clean, quiet, efficient, low inertia, high reliability actuator is ideal for: Heptic feedback and pipetting in medical devices, switch activation, testing, sorting, assembly equipment, work holding and clamping, scanners and laser beam steering and filtering, laser, machining and drilling, optical focusing, and dynamic vibration absorption.  Moticont also offers DC and servo motor drivers.

Is there a need for a higher force or longer stroke? There are currently 7 series of Moticont GVCM motors based on diameter of this motor.
