Ideally suited to remote or renewable energy applications where rechargeable or standard batteries or capacitors are used, the new Geeplus range of small Push-Pull solenoids provides a robust solution for a number of applications requiring a significant holding force using minimal power.
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.
Unlike many miniaturised components where a smaller size invariably means a higher price, a new 12mm bistable rotary solenoid from Geeplus, the BRS1212, has benefitted from re-engineering which has resulted in reduced costs of up to 50% for volumes of 5k upwards. The device also incorporates the added facility of an end stop.
Geeplus have changed the surface treatment of their electro-magnet range in order to optimise their operation when used in areas of heavy traffic such as hospital corridors. The new surface treatment, which can also be applied to custom parts, provides the magnets with an extremely hard surface which is resistant to accidental damage.
Providing an economic way of positioning of small, low mass, optical elements for focussing or beam deflection mechanisms, where repeatability is critical, but the small deflection from the axis is not, a new, compact actuator from Geeplus combines a voice coil motor and steel flexures to guide the coil assembly for frictionless operation.
When used in conjunction with a shutter, the latest Geeplus miniature bistable rotary solenoid really comes into its own for blocking laser, infrared and other forms of light.
Measuring just 16mm in diameter, 14mm in length and developing 0.55N of force, Geeplus International have launched what they claim to be the world's smallest standard Voice Coil Motor. Reduction in size often means a reduction in internal component dimensions which can lead to operational faults, but the VCM1614 benefits from a Geeplus designed bearing which not only keeps dimensions down, but also provides better and more reliable guidance of the coil assembly.
By using a permanent magnet instead of a spring a new bistable rotary solenoid has a significant increase in speed of operation.
A new range of electro-magnets from Geeplus have been designed with ejector pins to enable them to overcome the problems of residual magnetism occurring when power to the device is switched off. Residual magnetism is common in electro-magnetic devices due to unavoidable very small air gaps which occur within the unit. Saturation tends to occur in the pole regions causing some residual field to remain when power is removed.
A new very low profile flat voice coil motor from Geeplus Europe is designed in such a way that it offers good clearance in assembly and has latitude for tilting on one axis. It is ideally suited for use in multiple axis applications, such as moving optical filters.
Claimed to be the world's smallest bistable rotary solenoid, Geeplus has launched the tiny S1020 which measures just 2cms long and just 1cm in diameter.
A totally new concept in magnet design and construction has enabled Geeplus to develop a voice coil motor which develops between 30 and 40% more force than devices using a similar coil.
Two new publications from Geeplus Europe provide designers with almost 150 pages about electro-mechanical motion control solutions.
A voice coil drive instead of the more usual solenoid or geared motor mechanism which enables much faster open/close speeds to be achieved, is the heart of a new servo shutter mechanism developed by Geeplus Europe.
