Voice coil motors / actuators

Voice coil motors: precision and performance for demanding applications

The voice coil motor/actuator, also known as a voice coil motor or voice coil actuator, is one of the simplest electric motors and consists only of a magnetic housing and a coil. This minimalist yet adaptable design has numerous advantages:

  • high power-to-mass ratio
  • high acceleration
  • minimal to no hysteresis
  • no cogging torque

Our voice coil motors are characterised by the innovative, patented ironless motors of the AUM series. These offer both high continuous and peak forces and ensure stable, precise linear movements in a wide range of applications. Due to their compact design, these motors are ideal for applications that require the highest precision, such as focussing, oscillation systems and mirror tilting.

Rely on our voice coil motors when it comes to reliable and precise movements in small and complex systems.

Voice coil motors offer impressive precision and dynamics in numerous applications. If you want to experience this technology in a comprehensive, integrated solution, we recommend you take a look at our Voice Coil axes, which integrate these motors into a complete linear motion platform.

Voice Coil Motors - AVM Series

Voice Coil Motor in Round Design

Voice coil motors are single-phase motors that impress with their efficiency and durability. Our AVM series, the standard among voice coil motors, is available in various sizes and power ratings and offers flexible application options. An outstanding feature of these voice coil motors is that there is no physical contact between the coil and the magnet. This eliminates friction and wear problems and thus ensures maximum service life.

These voice coil motors are particularly suitable for high-speed pick & place applications where precision and speed are critical.

  • Voice coils in round design
  • Standard stroke range from 5 mm to 30 mm
  • No cogging force (zero cogging)
  • Low coil mass for fast reactions and high bandwidth
  • Ultra high-resolution movement (depending on the feedback system)

The AVM series voice coil motors are the perfect choice for demanding applications that require maximum precision and reliability.

Voice coil motors: Applications and industries

Voice coil motors are widely used in a variety of industries, especially where precision and reliability are critical. They are often used for smaller, high-precision applications such as focussing systems, oscillating systems and mirror tilting.

In addition, the smallest voice coil motors play a crucial role in semiconductor manufacturing and audio systems, where their accuracy and efficiency are particularly valued. In medical technology, these motors are used as pumps in medical and biomedical devices to ensure precise and reliable results.

With their wide range of applications, voice coil motors offer an optimal solution for demanding applications in various high-tech industries.
