Moving Iron Controllable Actuator MICA500L - 1

MICA™ MOVING IRON CONTROLLABLE ACTUATOR OBJECTIVES MICA™ actuator fullfills requirements in which compact, highly dynamic, precise, reliable and robust actuators are needed. This technology has been designed to fill the gap between the well known voice coil and the solenoid technologies. It is competitive towards hydraulic technologies for force generation, and competitive towards voice coil technologies for proof-mass dynamic applications (up to 500Hz and more) with high mass load. ■■ Fig1: MICA™ 500L PRESENTATION MICA™ actuator, also called “Moving Iron Controllabe Actuator” , is a special polarized electromagnet with the following characteristics: • high acceleration, with high force density • controllable thanks to its ability to produce a force proportional to the current all along the stroke (like voice-coils) • combination with a position sensor, to work in closed-loop (like voicecoils) for position regulation or other mechatronic functions • reliable since the coils are located at the fixed part of the actuator and mobile part is only made of iron • robust (easy to cool, robust interface, long life guiding) • compatible with severe environments (high temp, vacuum) MICA™ is a patented technology, available as off the shelf products which can also be “customised”. ADVANTAGES • High reliability and life-time • Lower losses per force unit towards voice-coil • High acceleration • High force density Copyright © CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES | MICA - 09/2015 • Easy integration VERSATILITY MICA™ actuator has been used in different ranges of: • shape: rectangular or cylindrical • stroke: 1mm to 10mm • force: 1N to 1000N
