Excellent at continuous operation and high-speed driving! Simple compact actuator "VCM"

If you're looking for a controllable motor, this is a must-see! Introducing voice coil motors that are easier to integrate into designs and more affordable than servo motors.

The "Voice Coil Motor (VCM)," a type of actuator, has a lightweight movable part consisting only of a coil, in contrast to solenoids that operate heavy iron cores. This design greatly enhances responsiveness and allows for high-speed operation, making it an electromagnetic actuator. Additionally, while motors typically produce torque fluctuations during rotation, the voice coil motor does not experience such cogging, enabling smooth movement and providing very high control resolution, allowing for positioning in millimeter increments. It is recommended when specifications do not match in terms of size, precision control, or operating speed, as it is more cost-effective than servo motors, stepping motors, and linear motors. [Examples of Applications] ■ Micro-motion axis drive for precision stages ■ Z-axis of chip mounter's placement head ■ Focusing of optical lenses ■ Head drive for wire bonders ■ Head weight control for polishing machines ■ Tension control for sewing machines ■ Linear compressors ■ Active vibration control, etc. Includes an operation manual using a control circuit! Customization according to customer requests is also possible. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
