The "Voice Coil Motor (VCM)" manufactured and sold by Shin Denko Mechatronics is an actuator that enables high-precision and high-speed control. The VCM has a lightweight movable part consisting only of a coil, in contrast to solenoids with heavy iron cores, which makes it superior in responsiveness and capable of high-speed operation. Additionally, it is less affected by the bending of the iron core's magnetization curve even when the current increases, demonstrating an extremely linear and favorable proportional relationship. 【Features】 - Lightweight movable part with high-speed response - Bidirectional output - Low inductance and good controllability - Cogging-free and smooth operation - Excellent linearity between thrust and drive current *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The "Voice Coil Motor (VCM)," a type of actuator, has a lightweight movable part consisting only of a coil, in contrast to solenoids that operate heavy iron cores. This design greatly enhances responsiveness and allows for high-speed operation, making it an electromagnetic actuator. Additionally, while motors typically produce torque fluctuations during rotation, the voice coil motor does not experience such cogging, enabling smooth movement and providing very high control resolution, allowing for positioning in millimeter increments. It is recommended when specifications do not match in terms of size, precision control, or operating speed, as it is more cost-effective than servo motors, stepping motors, and linear motors. [Examples of Applications] ■ Micro-motion axis drive for precision stages ■ Z-axis of chip mounter's placement head ■ Focusing of optical lenses ■ Head drive for wire bonders ■ Head weight control for polishing machines ■ Tension control for sewing machines ■ Linear compressors ■ Active vibration control, etc. Includes an operation manual using a control circuit! Customization according to customer requests is also possible. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The 'MM40C' manufactured and sold by Shin Denko Mechatronics is a voice coil motor that has been added to the lineup as an upgraded version of the 'MM30C'. It can be used for fine thrust control and high-speed, high-precision position control. 【Differences from Solenoids】 ■ High-Speed Drive - Capable of high-speed operation due to lightweight moving parts - No need for heavy iron cores in the moving parts - Lower inductance allows for quicker current response ■ Position Control - Minimal thrust variation based on position - Linear response to current - Small resolution (theoretically infinitesimal) - Less prone to hysteresis ■ Pressure Control - Linear change in thrust in response to current - Good frequency characteristics *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The technical documentation provided by Shin Denko Mechatronics on "Mechatro Tech Note: Voice Coil Motors" explains in detail the technology and applications of voice coil motors (VCM), which are widely used as actuators that can move objects, featuring characteristics different from motors and solenoids. Originally, they were often used in high-end audio equipment because they could apply force to the diaphragm of a speaker in accordance with the input signal, transmitting vibrations. The characteristics of voice coil motors can also be applied to control gripping force in robotic hands, vibration control in amusement game machines, and feedback control systems necessary for position control in drones. By thoroughly understanding and applying voice coil motors, it is possible to achieve performance that cannot be realized with other actuators.

The technical document "Mechatronics Tech Note: Actuators and Control" provided by Shin Denko Mechatronics introduces the various differences in everyday control systems and provides a detailed explanation of classical control theory necessary for the specific design of control systems. Control essentially means performing appropriate operations and adjustments to bring machines and other systems to a desired state. There are various types of control, including feedback control, sequence control, and feedforward control, which differ depending on the situation in which control is applied, and there are cases where they are combined. To understand these concepts and design control systems, it is necessary to acquire specialized knowledge. This document also touches on design methods known as classical control theory and introduces their overview.
