LVCM-013-013-03MVAC Vacuum-Compatible Linear Voice Coil Motor
Stroke: 0.125 in (3.2 mm) | Continuous Force: 5.1 Oz (1.42 N) | Intermittent Force: 16.1 Oz (4.48 N)

Housing Outside Diameter, 0.500 inch, 12.7 mm

Product Overview The LVCM-013-013-03MVAC is a vacuum-compatible linear voice coil motor designed for fast, precise, short-stroke motion in low-pressure equipment. Its compact housing measures 0.500 in (12.7 mm) in outside diameter and 0.500 in (12.7 mm) in length, while providing 0.125 in (3.2 mm) of linear travel. Performance and Vacuum-Compatible Construction The motor delivers 5.1 Oz (1.42 N) of continuous force and 16.1 Oz (4.48 N) of intermittent force at a 10% duty cycle. Its brushless, non-commutated direct-drive construction provides smooth bidirectional force, zero cogging, rapid acceleration and deceleration, quiet operation, and long service life. Motor force is proportional to coil current, and reversing the current reverses the direction of force and motion. Key Features • Vacuum-compatible linear voice coil motor • 0.125 in (3.2 mm) linear stroke • 5.1 Oz (1.42 N) continuous force • 16.1 Oz (4.48 N) intermittent force at 10% duty cycle • Compact 0.500 in (12.7 mm) housing diameter • Brushless, non-commutated operation with no cogging • Direct-drive force proportional to current • High acceleration, rapid reversal, and smooth force control Applications Typical applications include semiconductor and wafer-processing equipment, vacuum optical positioning, laser and electron-beam systems, thin-film and deposition equipment, inspection systems, aerospace test equipment, scientific instruments, and research apparatus requiring compact direct-drive linear motion. Vacuum-System Integration Confirm the required operating pressure, allowable outgassing, temperature range, bakeout procedure, cabling, and material compatibility against the product datasheet and the requirements of the vacuum system. Threaded mounting provisions support integration into new or existing equipment; refer to the mechanical drawing for exact thread sizes and dimensions. Mechanical Guidance and Closed-Loop Control The LVCM-013-013-03MVAC generates linear force but does not provide its own mechanical guidance. The moving and stationary components must be supported by an external bearing, flexure, slide, or other guidance mechanism. For closed-loop position or velocity control, combine the motor with a vacuum-compatible position sensor, servo controller, and current amplifier. Final accuracy and repeatability depend on the sensor, guidance system, load, structural stiffness, controller, and servo tuning.
