VM2836, VM5050

Geeplus adds flexible circuits to three more of their Voice Control Motors

Due to the successful introduction of a flexible circuit and cover on their VM2836 and VM5050 voice coil motor, Geeplus has now extended these same benefits to three other models. Now available on their 33, 40 and 80mm models, the newly added circuits provide a simple and reliable electrical connection, which in turn has a consistent influence on force behaviour. Termination can be specified by the customer as either a flexible tail or a connector.

The moving coil and termination is simply plugged in via any length of tail. This makes the device neater and because the flex is terminated directly onto the coil, less stress is created at the joint making it resistant to damage or disconnection through constant movement and material stress.

This connection method makes the motors perfectly suited for use in pick and place machines and pressure or position sensitive control valves. Similarly, the cover reduces noise and prevents ingression by airborne contaminants.
