Miniature Linear Servo Motor

Moticont, Los Angeles, CA, has introduced a miniature linear servo motor delivering a 9.5-mm stroke and peak force of 6.9 N in a 12.7-mm-diameter housing. The moving-coil design of the LVCM-013-025-03M provides smooth, cog-free motion and rapid acceleration for precision clamping, assembly, test, and semiconductor handling systems. Threaded mounting simplifies integration, and compatible controllers and encoders support multi-axis configurations.
