Moving Coil Actuators

ORLIN Technologies are distributors of SMAC voice coil (VCA) or moving coil actuators and positioning stages which differ from conventional VCS's because they have a precision linear guide to constrain the motion to a single axis and a linear encoder for position feedback. Using closed-loop servo control they are unique in that their force, position, acceleration and velocity are freely and totally programmable. Utilising SMAC’s proprietary linear motor technology, they are designed to perform at exceptionally high speeds and with a very high degree of accuracy and repeatability. High quality materials, heavy duty linear guides and careful design minimise the number of wearing parts resulting in a incredibly long-lived device. Life times of several hundred-million cycles are commonplace. Strokes range from 5mm to 250mm and peak forces up to 300N are available.
