1. VNA Test Cables'
Flex Life Exceed
100,000 Cycles
2. Miniature Linear
Voice Coil Motor Is
Smaller Than a Penny
Fairview Microwave's highfrequency VNA test cables
display electrical properties such
as a phase stability of +/- 6° at
50 GHz and +/- 8° at 70 GHz, as
well as VSWR of 1.3:1 at 50 GHz
and 1.4:1 at 70 GHz. The 50 GHz
assemblies are terminated with
2.4mm connectors, while the
70 GHz versions utilize 1.85mm
connectors. These test cables'
flex life exceed 1000,000 cycles
and are suitable for use in
semiconductor probe testing, and
precise bench top testing. Their
stainless steel connectors can
provide up to 5,000 mating cycles.
Moticont introduces the 0.625
in. (15.9 mm) LVCM-016-010-01
Linear Voice Coil Actuator. The
length at mid-stroke is 0.63 in.
(15.9 mm) long. This miniature
voice coil actuator has a
continuous force of 5.9 oz (1.6 N)
and a peak force of 18.6 oz (5.2 N),
and features a 0.125 in. (3.2 mm)
stroke. With its high acceleration/
deceleration and low inertia, it
is suitable for Haptic feedback
in medical/surgical instruments,
assembly, work holding and
clamping, sorting, laser machining
and drilling, packaging, sampling,
scanning, and more.

3. Linear AC
Power Sources
Pacific Power Source has
introduced a range of precision
programmable linear AC power
sources for a wide range of AC
power-test applications. The
LMX Series consists of over
20 different models, ranging in
power from 500VA to 30,000VA.
Compared to more commonplace
PWM switching AC power
sources, the LMX Series uses
linear technology to offer superior
performance with respect to
output noise, voltage distortion,
output impedance, and peak
current capability. The LMX
Series also offers a 15Hz to
5,000Hz output frequency range,
allowing the LMX to support
navigational avionics equipment
applications.

4. Integrated Single
and Multi-Axis Stepper
Motor Controller
and Driver
Optimal Engineering Systems'
ICAD Series of integrated motion
controllers and drivers for 2-phase
stepper motors is available as
1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-axis modules.
Suitable for NEMA 8 to NEMA 42
stepper motors, these compact
6.0 in. x 8.0 in. plug-and-play,
integrated controllers incorporate
high-resolution micro-stepping
drivers for precise positioning.
Other features include home and
limit switches per axis, joystick
interface, TTL/CMOS inputs and
outputs, quadrature encoder
feedback, USB and optional
Ethernet interfaces permits each
module to be customized for
specific applications.
