Motion Control – Linear Focus Actuator from Equipment Solutions!

Motion Control – Linear Focus Actuator

Motion Control – The LFA-1205 Linear Focus Actuator is a high performance compact positioning system. It was specifically developed for optical applications requiring both high precision and high-speed positioning over a short to medium stroke.

The LFA-1205 is well suited for optical focusing and other micropositioning applications such as scanning interferometry, surface structure analysis, disk drive testing, autofocus systems, confocal microscopy, bio-technology, semiconductor test equipment.

Note that this motor is normally configured with an analog position feedback sensor and can be optionally equipped with a digital quadrature feedback element. The key to this motion control product’s immense success is its novel tubular architecture. This arrangement provides a means to send the optical path directly through the middle of the motor. The moving optic attached to the motors ‘C-mount’ is not cantilevered and so has no torques. The LFA-1205 Linear Focus Actuator is directly compatible with the SCA814 Servo Controlled Amplifier.

Motion Control – Rotary Solenoids Matched to An Application Are Available in OEM Quantities!

The R-09-150 CWN Series of Clockwise, Reverse Shaft Extension Rotary Solenoids from Magnetic Sensor Systems (MSS), available in OEM quantities, features 18 different winding configurations allowing the user to match torque and duty cycle requirements to an application.

These compact 38.1 mm (1.50 in.) diameter motion control solenoids are just 22.1 mm (0.87 in.) long and have two M4X0.7 threaded studs (8-32 studs optional) 7.4 mm (0.29 in.) long on a 22.2 mm (0.875 in.) bolt circle. The reverse shaft has 40 degrees of clockwise rotation, extending 13.0 mm (0.51 in.). Shaft end is serrated for better grip of the attached load.

The R-09-150 CCWM Series of Rotary Solenoids can be specified with a choice of AWG winding of 21 to 37 gauge. Specifying a different AWG for the windings allows the user to control the performance of a solenoid with respect to duty cycle, current supplied, and torque by controlling the ampere turns. As an example: Starting torque of a solenoid at 9 w, 100% duty cycle, is 3.0 oz-in. (0.021 Nm) and start torque of a solenoid at 90 w, 10% duty cycle is 21 oz-in. 0.15 Nm). When voltage is removed, a built-in return spring returns the shaft to the home position.

All MSS electromagnets use materials that quickly lose residual magnetism when the current is removed. The E-05-125 Series has a 10-32 UNC-2B threaded mounting hole on the backside for easy integration into new and existing applications.

The shaft is supported by two high precision radial ball bearings with no axial movement.
Low cost, the R-09-150 CWN Series of motion control Rotary Solenoids feature long life, clean and quiet operation are ideal for: Office machines, security mechanisms (interlocks), medical devices, assembly, sorting, clamping, packaging, shutter actuation, vending, and games. Please consult our Sales Team if another size, higher forces, direction of rotation, or mounting configuration is required.

Electromate – Harmonic Drive FHA-C Mini 24V Servo Actuator with Dual Absolute Encoder and Panel Mount connectors!

Electromate – Harmonic Drive Servo Actuator

Vaughan, Ontario, Canada — Motion Control – Components — Introducing Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C mini actuator. Featuring BiSS-C Harmonic Drive fha-24v-002bi-directional communication for both encoders. The dual encoders are incorporated in essentially the same package size as the long-standing FHA-C mini single incremental encoder version. Without increasing the size, the dual absolute encoder offers single turn absolute position at the output, without the need for battery back-up. Panel mount connectors come standard, and customers can choose between 4 exit options.

The FHA-C mini Series is a family of extremely compact actuators that deliver high torque with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The actuator combines a high precision Harmonic Drive® gear component with a pancake brushless servo motor. A single turn 14 bit (16384 cpr) gear output encoder has been integrated along with a single turn 14 bit (16384 cpr) motor input encoder providing a true absolute encoder that does not require a battery within 360° of rotation of the output. Typical multi-turn encoders monitoring the motor input shaft require a battery to store the current position when power is lost to the system; however, the dual absolute encoder overcomes this need. In other words, No Battery Required. When power is restored the actuator knows its position.

Features include:

Zero backlash
Incremental, Absolute or Dual Absolute Encoder
24VDC winding
High-torque/weight and torque/volume ratio
Optional flex-rated cables with sealed connectors

Motion Control – Half Inch Stroke, and High Force-to-Size Ratio, Are Features of Miniature Voice Coil Servo Motor!

Motion Control – Miniature Voice Coil Motor!

Motion Control Linear Servo Motors – Newly released from Moticont, the miniature GVCM-019-022-02 Linear Voice Coil Servo Motor, is just three-fourths of an inch (19.0 mm) in diameter and features a half inch (12.7 mm) stroke. This very small linear actuator, also referred to as an electric cylinder, features 8.4 ounces (2.3 N) of continuous force and 26.6 ounces (7.4 N) of peak force at a 10 percent duty cycle. This non-commutated brushless servo motor features: High reliability, high speed, high acceleration/deceleration, and repeatability when used in a servo loop, and zero cogging.

The compact housing and coil end combined are just 1.063 in. (27.0 mm) long and in the fully extended position the threaded shaft extends 0.786 in. (19.9 mm) beyond the face of the housing. The end of the shaft has a 2-56 UNC-2A thread 0.156 in. (4.0 mm) long for backlash free connections. Both the housing and coil ends of the actuator have two 4-40 UNC-2B threaded mounting holes on 0.313 (7.9 mm) bolt circles for easy integration into an application.

Non-commutated, these brushless miniature linear servo motors are clean, quiet and an ideal choice for: Haptic feedback and pipetting in medical devices, laser, machining and drilling, work holding and clamping, scanners and laser beam steering and filtering, optical focusing, dynamic vibration absorption, testing, sorting, and assembly. Additionally, they should be considered as low-cost replacements for pneumatic linear actuators.

Please contact Moticont, if a longer stroke or higher force is required for your application.
