Cylindrical Housed Linear VCA
A fully housed voice coil actuator (VCA) further expands upon the idea of the semi-housed VCA, incorporating the self-aligning bushings and shaft, but fully captures the coil assembly to keep it concentric with the field assembly, adds an internal flex circuit to protect external moving wires and limits the axial travel on both ends of the stroke.
As a single piece, the linear actuator can be mounted on one side and does not require a customer-supplied alignment system, making it easy to integrate into applications. Housed voice coil actuators feature all the inherent advantages of VCA technology, such as direct drive, zero backlash, and cog-free operation for accurate motion, as well as high acceleration and the use of single phase.
