Voice Coil Motor with Internal Shaft

High speed, high acceleration/deceleration, zero backlash, high accuracy, high repeatability, an internal shaft and bearing are features of the GVCM-051-089-05S06 Linear Voice Coil Motor. This compact, voice coil motor has a high force to size ratio with 5.5 lb. continuous force and 17.5 lb. of peak force with a housing measuring just 2.000 in. dia. x 3.50 in. long.  The stroke of the motor is 2.75 in. and the precision ground shaft with a diameter of 0.2360 has an internal thread, and the housing has threaded mounting holes for easy integration into current and future applications. 

This clean, quiet, efficient, low inertia, brushless actuator features high reliability and is ideal for: medical devices, assembly equipment, work holding and clamping, antenna positioning, testing, sorting, laser machining and drilling, wafer handling, optical focusing, dynamic vibration absorption, scanners and laser beam steering and filtering. The motor can also be ordered as a complete plug-and-play system including a controller.

Is there a need for a smaller or larger diameter motor, one with longer stroke, or more force?  There are currently 7 series of GVCM motors based on diameter of the motor, and models based on length of stroke and/or force to select from with additional motors being added to select from.
