The SMAC LCA6 moving coil linear motor is cross roller-guided to increase accuracy

The SMAC LCA6 moving coil linear motor is cross roller-guided to increase accuracy. Flat coils are centered between cross rollers so deflection load is reduced and rigidity is increased. The thin, 6-mm-wide device is small and stackable, conserving space. A built-in sensor feedback system gives the coil actuators the mechatronic ability to quality-check key processes in real time and feed back the results. The actuators have such capabilities as programmable and controllable position, velocity and force, as well as high accelerations. They also include Soft-Land capability, which is useful when performing fragile part assembly, measuring and moving objects.
