This hollow-core voice coil, the HVCM-051-025-013-01, features an open aperture of 0.5 in (12.7 mm). The clean room friendly, noncommutated motor is available off-the-shelf. The lightweight and low-inertia moving coil of the linear actuator demonstrates high acceleration/deceleration, high speed, zero cogging and, by connecting directly to the load, zero backlash. The actuator’s hollow core allows for optics, illumination, laser beams or cables to pass through. It has a continuous force rating of 5.3 lb (23.7 N) and a peak force of 16.9 lb (74.8 N) at a 10% duty cycle.
