New Geeplus Voice Coil Actuator Boasts Large Radial Clearance

Beckenham, UK – Offering a very large radial clearance, the new VM32C voice coil actuator from Geeplus is ideally suited to applications where excellent control for short stroke, bidirectional linear actuation is required, as in medical or optical equipment.

With the ability to develop force in either direction by reversing the polarity of excitation, a very important characteristic of voice coil actuators is their extremely low hysteresis – typically two orders of magnitude less than in proportional solenoids.

This, along with the flat force curve exhibited by voice coil actuators, often make these devices the solution to applications requiring precise control of force and/or position (such as control valves or lens and mirror positioning systems).

The VM series of Voice Coil Actuators are designed with incorporated shafts and sliding bearings as standard, to ensure smooth, accurate guidance of the moving coil within the magnet assembly.

Engineers can use the Geeplus Coil Calculator tool to compare performance and get an idea of which actuator will work best within a particular application.

Geeplus is a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of precision electromechanical actuators. You can find Geeplus online at www.geeplus.com, as well as on social media on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube.
