Moticont has added metric dimensioned motors to its LVCM series of linear voice coil actuators. An example is the miniature LVCM-022-013-01M linear voice coil actuator. At 22.2mm (0.875") in diameter and at mid-stroke 20.7mm (0.81") long, this metric miniature voice coil actuator has a continuous force of 4.0N (14.5 oz) and a peak force of 12.7N (45.7 oz), and features a 6.4mm (0.25") stroke.

A true miniature brushless DC servo motor, the LVCM-022-013-01M linear voice coil actuator has high acceleration/deceleration and low inertia. Because this miniature brushless servo motor is clean, has high speed, zero cogging, and is highly efficient, it is ideal for: haptic feedback in medical/surgical instruments, assembly, work holding and clamping, sorting, laser machining and drilling, packaging, sampling, scanning, laser beam steering and filtering, vibration damping, wafer handling, and pharmaceutical applications. 

Additionally, the metric LVCM-016-010-01 linear actuator features high accuracy and repeatability when operated as a DC servo motor in a closed servo loop. Each end of this linear actuator has two M3X0.5 threaded mounting holes in the housing and two M3X0.5 threaded mounting holes in the coil end on 9.5mm (0.375") centers for easy integration into new and existing applications. A complete plug-and-play servo controller is also available.

If there a need for a still smaller or larger diameter motor, one with longer travel, or more force, select from the many choices available in the expansive family of LVCM linear motors based on diameter of the motor, and more than 50 models based on length of stroke, and/or force to select from.
