n Miniature Voice Coil Servo Motor
Moticont, Van Nuys, CA, has released a miniature
linear voice coil servo motor ideal for haptic
feedback and pipetting in medical devices. The
GVCM-016-019-01M is 15.9 mm (0.625 in.) in diameter.
The motor, also called an electric cylinder,
features a high force-to-size ratio of 1.5 N (5.3 oz)
continuous force and 4.6 N (16.6 oz) of peak force. The housing is 19.1
mm (0.63 in.) long and in the fully extended position, the shaft extends
20.0 mm (0.79 in.) beyond the face of the housing. The end of the shaft
has an M2.2X0.45 thread by 4.0 mm long for backlash free connections.

n Dry Bath for Robotics
Torrey Pines Scientific, Carlsbad, CA,
has launched a Peltier-driven, compact
chilling/heating dry bath with temperatures
settable from 0.0° to 100.0 °C. The
EchoTherm™ RIC40 is designed for use

with robotic systems. The bath is controlled via the RS232 I/O port on
each unit. It measures 4.9 × 3.3 × 3.9 in. (125 × 82 × 99 mm) without a
sample block. Optional accessories include mounting brackets for Tecan
decks and a variety of precision-made aluminum sample blocks. The
bath can be set to 0.1 °C and is stable to ±0.2 °C.

n Brushless Slotted Flat Motor
Portescap, West Chester, NY, has released a
new brushless slotted flat motor. The 32ECF
motor has a diameter of 32 mm and an overall
body length of 17.6 mm. With an eight-pole
design and high-power density in a flat architecture,
the motor utilizes an outer rotor configuration
with an air gap between the coil and magnetic structure that is
managed radially. The motor's electromagnetic circuit has been optimized
for higher performance. The motor also delivers a maximum continuous
power of 32 W at 10,000 rpm within a 32 mm flat form factor.

n Electronic Valve
A valve using spider technology from
Clippard, Cincinnati, OH, provides exceptional
leak resistance and long life. The ES
series features large cross-sectional O-rings,
minimal leak points, and proven poppet
designs. All mounting hardware is outside
of the flow path, and no internal parts are threaded during assembly. The
compact footprint makes it suitable for improving reliability in a wide
range of applications. Ideal applications have exceeded 1,000,000,000 cycles,
using one moving part that travels a 0.007 in. during operation.

n Servo Control
Azco, Fairfield, NJ, has designed and manufactured
an unwind with digital operator control
panel. The unwind, which also works as a rewind
unit, is cantilever design. Speed, torque, and direction
are controlled from the HMI color touch
screen. The unit can go from unwind to rewind by
changing the direction, torque, and speed. The
compact unit is easy to mount. An optional air shaft is available. The
low-maintenance unit requires minimal upkeep.
