SMAC Technology Moving Coil Actuator Explained
image Print
SMAC Moving Coil ActuatorAt the heart of all SMAC actuators is the moving coil.

The principle is broadly the same as you will find in any permanent magnet loudspeaker.

The voice coil sits in a strong magnetic field, and by passing a current through the coil a force is generated in either direction.

The coil is wound on an aluminium bobbin for strength and dimensional control.

The Current is relatively low compared to other linear motor manufactures. SMAC uses approximately 2 amp max as opposed to 6-10 amps used by others. The Coil runs cool and therefore at a high duty cycle.

LXYM15 Series Open Frame XY Stage by SMAC
LXYM15 Open Frame XY Stage by SMAC

SMAC 2 axis XY moving coil stage of open frame construction. This actuator is intended for use in applications where it is necessary to move a sample over an optical inspection device and view through the sample.

Utilising standard, proven SMAC components the XY stage provides accurate positioning capability at superior speed to alternative motorised devices. Positioning across the entire range of movement (15mm) is achievable in less than 100ms. Precision guiding systems, strategically positioned relative to the stage insert, ensure flatness across the system.

Diesel Injector Assembly Inspection – Constant Spring Rate & Test of Shims
Electric Actuator by SMAC

A single SMAC electric actuator eliminates “stack up of errors” and feedback force and position

SMAC Moving Coil Actuators (MCA) are helping a world leading manufacturer of diesel injectors to reduce emissions by using an actuator to determine the spring characteristics in their injectors. The standard SMAC characteristics of programmable force control coupled to a sub-micron resolution encoder feedback ensures that the measurement of spring rates and deflection are carried out with great accuracy and repeatability.

SMAC Moving Coil Actuators Provide Accurate and Repeatable 100% Measurement on Automated Inline Inspection
SMAC Moving Coil Actuator

SMAC were approached by a leading automotive parts manufacturer to solve what had been a long term inspection problem. A key component used in the air suspension system had a critical tolerance which was dictated by the height of a rubber insert. Traditionally this was inspected by hand with a digital gauge but variance caused by operator error was too great.

Therefore automation was essential but accurate and repeatable 100% measurement of this rubber part had proved impossible until SMAC Moving Coil Actuators were chosen as a solution
