SMAC Moving Coil Actuators introduces the LCA6. At 6mm wide, SMAC Moving Coil Actuators claims that the LCA6 is the thinnest linear moving coil in the world. The LCA6 is cross roller guided, increasing accuracy. Flat coils are centred between cross rollers so deflection load is reduced and rigidity is increased. In addition, the LCA6 is small and stackable, conserving space.
LCA6 Specs:
- Dimensions [mm]: 60x135x6
- Linear Stroke [mm]: 10
- Encoder resolution [µm]: 5 standard, 0.1 optional
- Moving mass [kg]: 0.037
- Total mass [kg]: 0.21 (w/o cable)
- Peak Force [N]: 3.5 @ 1.2 amps (24V)
- Vacuum and spring optional
The LCA6 is suitable for electronic pick-and-place, biomedical dispensing and QC measurement.
The LCA6 benefits include a compact and slim package, superior cross ruler guiding, ultralow friction, ultrasmooth and rigid guiding, programmable position, force, velocity, Soft-Land capability, and feedback of position, force and velocity.
SMAC’s built-in sensor feedback system gives SMAC’s Moving Coil Actuators the unique mechatronic ability to “do work and verify its success at the same time.” This would allow the actuators to quality check key processes 100 percent in real time and feedback the results.
SMAC Moving Coil Actuators claim to be true “mechatronic solutions.” By that they mean their actuators have unique capabilities such as programmable and controllable position, velocity and force, high accelerations, cycle life well over 100M and a patent-pending “Soft-Land” capability. The Soft-Land capability is useful when performing fragile part assembly, measurement and moving objects.
SMAC’s low-friction guide system makes their actuators extremely repeatable from move to move - within 1 msec. SMAC’s product development group originated such models as the linear/rotary actuator, the two independent axis Gripper, the world’s first direct-drive robotic finger, and advanced magnetic circuit designs that have more than doubled forces in the same sized mechanical packages.

flat ( screw flat)
Flat surface machined into the shank of a cutting tool for enhanced holding of the tool.
- linear motor
linear motor
Functionally the same as a rotary motor in a machine tool, a linear motor can be thought of as a standard permanent-magnet, rotary-style motor slit axially to the center and then peeled back and laid flat. The major advantage of using a linear motor to drive the axis motion is that it eliminates the inefficiency and mechanical variance caused by the ballscrew assembly system used in most CNC machines.
