Linear Servo Brush-type Amplifier
September 10th, 2012
H2W introduces a new DC Linear Brush-Type Servo Amplifier (LCAM 5/15) that is ideally suited to drive our complete line of voice coil linear actuators. Since the majority of voice coil actuators have very low inductance windings (less than 1 mH), the preferred method to drive these voice coils is with a linear servo amplifier. Amplifiers will be preset to match the continuous and peak current specifications of any H2W voice coil motor. Available from stock for immediate...

Tech Tip Automation Selection Tool
September 5th, 2012
TIA Selection Tool with extended scope of use.
The TIA Selection Tool helps you to choose the right products and components for your automation task, configure these and obtain a complete order list as a result.
