Voice coil - Iris
High-Performance Short-Stroke Linear Actuator
The Iris series voice coil actuators deliver exceptional performance for short-stroke applications requiring high bandwidth and low stiffness. Designed with an ironless architecture, Iris actuators eliminate attraction forces, ensuring smooth, frictionless motion and zero wear. This makes them ideal for semiconductor manufacturing, inspection systems, and active vibration isolation.
Unlike conventional actuators, Iris uses a stationary magnet yoke and a movable coil unit, enabling fast response and high force output without mechanical contact. The result is high dynamic performance, minimal heat buildup, and long operational life.
