Voice coil actuator for linear and servo-mechanisms

BEI Kimco Magnetics Division announces availability of the LA50-65-001A Model. This voice coil actuator is one of Kimco's largest and most powerful linear actuators. The LA50-65-001A has a diameter of 5" and a linear stroke of 1" (i.e. +/-.5" from mid-stroke). This model provides a peak force of 225 lbs and accelerations up to 72g's. The actuator has a cylindrical configuration and can operate at temperatures of up to 155°C.

The strong force available from the LA50-65-001A model along with the fast dynamic response provides the performance needed in high-performance servo applications where both speed and accuracy are important. BEI Kimco Magnetics offers Linear Actuators to fit application needs from our small 1mm at 0.7N to our larger size of 25mm at 1000N. Applications include actuators for fast valves in respiration equipment, autofocus capability in optical systems and active damping in instrumentation.

BEI Kimco Magnetics is A leader from the very beginning

Stats:

  • Founded in 1974 Kimco Magnetics
  • Purchased in 1984 by BEI Technologies, then purchased by Schneider Electric in 2005
  • Design and manufacturing of electromagnetic components & systems
  • Location: Vista, California
  • Production Manufacturing: BEI Sensors de Mexico

Founded in 1974, Kimco Magnetics is one of the original pioneers to commercialize products made with rare earth magnet materials. Kimco Magnetics was acquired in 1984 by BEI Technologies and then by Schneider Electric in 2005, and was subsequently added to the business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies in 2006. We have merged leading-edge capabilities and cost effective manufacturing know-how with highly personalized applications expertise. This combination has propelled BEI Kimco Magnetics into market dominance where we have remained a leading manufacturer of brushless DC motors and linear and rotary voice coil actuators for over 35 years. In that time, we have put thousands of BEI Kimco motors and actuators into products in markets ranging from medical and automotive to office and factory automation.

With a time-to-market as short as eight weeks, BEI Kimco Magnetics has maintained innovative, high quality products and holds numerous electro-magnetic patents. At BEI Kimco, we never lose sight of the value of personal service, expert design engineering, and product innovation.

Optimizing Motion Control Design

At BEI Kimco Magnetics, we integrate our expertise with customer requirements in motion control devices. Latest technologies range from Smart Actuators, to SERVO-SMART actuator systems, providing direct drive actuation for applications from factory automation, to low-bandwidth torquers, ideal for gimbal drives, robotics and other stabilized platform applications. It means faster, quieter, more reliable devices for semiconductor and medical equipment where throughput and life itself are critical to success. We remain deeply committed to solving your application challenges through technological innovation. Take our Spherical Voice Coil Actuator for example – Roll Pitch and Yaw motion in one device. Think of the possibilities. With our brushless DC noise attenuation patent – perhaps you may find it to be the right answer.

Answering Customer Demands

BEI Kimco Magnetics is dedicated to taking technology to the limit. At our Business Development & Technology Center, we challenge ourselves to create innovative ways to meet new application needs. BEI Kimco has developed brushless DC motors to operate virtually noise-free, ideal for user confidence in quiet operating systems and patient care applications.
