Linear Voice Coil Actuators - Housed (LA16 Series)

BEI Kimco Voice Coil Actuators are ideally suited for such demanding applications as semiconductor equipment, defense systems and life-sustaining medical systems; Our voice coil actuators are direct drive, hysteresis-free, cog-free devices offering high-acceleration and “clean” technology. They deliver infinite position sensitivity, limited only by resolution of the feedback device. These units exhibit perfectly smooth force-versus stroke characteristics. New packaging and miniaturization capabilities offer the designer added flexibility without compromise. Units can be packaged for integrated assemblies including encoder, motor, switch or other functions to streamline operations and cost.

Housed VCAs models have been designed to simplify the use of linear voice coil actuators. With internal linear bearings the housed actuator design captures the coil assembly mechanically to keep it concentric within the field assembly as well as limiting the axial travel on both ends of the stroke. BEI Kimco’s housed actuators range from 1.2 to 2.76 inches in diameter with peak forces ranging from 3.5 to 60 Lbs. The total stroke range of BEI Kimco’s semi-housed actuators is 0.25 to 0.98 inches.

Housed voice coil actuators are ideally suited for such demanding applications as semiconductor equipment, defense systems and life-sustaining medical systems. Housed VCA same as Semi-Housed but with enclosure and connector for some mechanical and environmental protection and for ease of use in system integration.
