Linear Moving Magnet Actuators allow for precise positioning.
When combined with smart drive electronics, Moving Magnet Voice Coil Actuators can be controlled for speed and desired output force. By keeping magnet mass low, system inertia is well controlled, resulting in precise speed and position control. Moving magnet actuators lend themselves to applications that require moderate speed and gentle stop points, such as remotely controlled circuit breakers,...
