BEI Kimco Magnetics Provides Cog-Free Linear Voice Coil Servo Actuators

May 12, 2009

Vista, CA – BEI Kimco Magnetics model LA15-16-020A is a two-wire non-commutated direct drive linear voice coil servo actuator motor featuring cog-free, hysteresis free motion with high acceleration capability. This 1.5-in diameter x 1.56-in. long device has a 0.4-in. stroke. It is rated at 2.6-lb. force continuous and 7.6-lb. force for 10 seconds. LA15-16-020A is a cost-effective, superior performance alternative to rotary-to-linear conversion servo drives.

The LA15-16-020A model is a 0.25-in. stroke linear voice coil actuator rated at 5.5-lb. force, continuous and 20.0-lb. force for 10 seconds. This two wire non-commutated actuator measuring 1.5-in. diameter x 1.56-in. long is hysteresis free, cog-free and has a simple linear control characteristic. It is a cost-effective high performance direct drive servo mechanism that exceeds the capabilities of rotary-to-linear conversion devices.
