Voice Coil Actuators utilize magnetic spring technology.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 07:47:50 -0600

Linear Voice Coil Actuators incorporate 2 spring designs, based on magnetic technology, that ensure constant and precise valve position in either open or closed setting when electrical power is off. Each actuator incorporates magnetic extension or magnetic compression spring inside coil assembly. Both designs also include stops, which limit position of moving coil when it is not energized. When coil is de-energized, it remains in set, fixed position.
