Here H2W Technologies helps us to better understand the basics of a voice coil actuator. A voice coil actuator, also known as a non-commutated DC linear actuator, is a type of direct drive linear motor. The name ‘voice coil’ comes from one of its historically first applications: vibrating the paper cone of a loudspeaker.

Miniature speakers can be designed into a wide range of devices including door-entry systems, small timers or alarms, and various types of handheld and portable audio products. They can also be used to enhance the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) of equipment like industrial machinery, medical devices, computer peripherals, office automation and others.

An eel-like robot developed by engineers and marine biologists at the University of California can swim silently in salt water without an electric motor. Instead, the robot uses artificial muscles filled with water to propel itself. The foot-long robot, which is connected to an electronics board that remains on the surface, is also virtually transparent.The team, which includes researchers from UC San Diego and UC Berkeley, details their work inS...

Battery packs have become an integral part of everyday life, powering a growing range of portable electronic devices, cordless power tools, energy storage, and hybrid and electric vehicles. By Geoff Shannon, Amada Miyachi America.

With module connect, igus has developed a novel plug-in connector for the connection of electrical cables, fibre-optic cables and pneumatics. Thanks to the modular system, an individual plug-in/separation point can be configured as a module from several plug housings. The system can be mounted on the e-chain, between different e-chains or directly on the switch cabinet and is used wherever a large number of cables are plugged into a small footpri...

When serving the often challenging component requirements of an iconic motorcycle brand can be a fine balancing act. When the look, sound and smell of a new bike must strike the perfect chord with enthusiasts, even the most minor detail needs to be perfect. Managing cost, performance and aesthetics of fasteners over a prototyping project is always a challenge, but the ethos of the brand must be accommodated. Fortunately, Optimas has conquered thi...
