VCDS-025-038-02 Single-Motor Voice Coil Linear Stage Series

Series Overview

The VCDS-025-038-02 Single-Motor series consists of single-motor direct-drive voice coil linear stages engineered for rapid, precise, and repeatable positioning. Each guided stage integrates a non-commutated voice coil motor, quadrature optical encoder feedback, and a built-in home switch for closed-loop servo operation.

Key Benefits

• Direct-drive motion with zero mechanical backlash and no cogging
• Integrated linear guidance for a ready-to-use positioning stage
• Quadrature optical encoder feedback with differential outputs
• Built-in home switch for repeatable initialization
• Multiple force, travel, bearing, motor, and encoder-resolution configurations
• High acceleration, rapid settling, quiet operation, and long service life

Applications

Typical uses include optical focusing, laser beam steering, mirror positioning, scanning, inspection, alignment, metrology, medical instrumentation, laboratory automation, vibration control, precision assembly, packaging, test equipment, and research systems.

Selecting a Model

Use the model listings below to compare range of motion, continuous and intermittent force, bearing type, motor configuration, encoder resolution, moving mass, and connection options. Review the individual product page and datasheet before selecting a controller, amplifier, cable, payload, or return-spring option.
