Voice Coil Actuator VMXY80

13.06.2022

We have added a new, multi-axis voice coil actuator to its menu of world class actuation devices. Designed for the steering of optical beams, and ideally suited to the use of data transmission between tall buildings or other structures subjected to movement, the new VMXY80 voice coil actuator provides rotational deflection about two axes.

Voice Coil Actuator
[Translate to English:]

The moving element is supported on a steel flexure for frictionless movement and two coil pairs develop torque on the X or Y axis when energised. Torque is proportional to the excitation current which results in a deflection proportional to the excitation current. The device has been designed in such a way that it is scalable, enabling the manufacture of smaller or larger devices with similar construction subject to quantities being economically viable. The 80mm diameter device however, is approaching the upper size limit for which radial magnets are available. Larger devices can be created using segmented magnets, and, in turn, may be more readily manufactured with a square footprint.
