Vista, CA (October 11th, 2010) - VISTA, Calif., – August 30, 2010–BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), Inc., has introduced the uniquely designed LA15-16-043Z Voice Coil Actuator featuring a large diameter clear aperture, compact size, and force high capabilities. Design engineers will find the new actuator an ideal solution where space savings through system integration is critical. The actuator’s aperture can be used for product feed-through, laser beams or other illumination delivery, as well as for other application-specific functions. This design lends itself to merging the actuator into the customer assembly for a completely integrated system, resulting in reduced weigh, fewer components and a more overall compact product. In addition to the space-savings through system integration, the through-hole actuator’s small size of only 1.5” diameter and 1.6” in length (at mid-strok...
Vista, CA (October 11th, 2010) - September 21, 2010 – BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), Inc., recently developed a BLDC motor to meet the challenging high speed requirements for a Turbomolecular Vacuum Pump application. The Turbomolecular pump is widely used in the semiconductor device manufacturing process, which requires highly compressed gases for chemical deposition and implantation. The pump design incorporates the specially designed BEI motor driven turbine rotor, which is capable of operating speeds of up to 70,000 rpm. The extremely high speeds are essential to achieve vacuum pressures down to one micropascal. Key to the success of the project was to design a compact, reliable and efficient motor capable of reaching and maintaining the required speeds under continuous duty conditions. To meet the customer’s specifications, BEI Kimco developed a Frameless Permanent Magnet ...
Vista, CA (February 4th, 2010) - BEI KIMCO MAGNETICS’ NEW FAMILY OF LINEAR VOICE COIL ACTUATORS, PROVIDING HIGH SAFETY AND SUPERIOR SERVICE LIFE VISTA, Calif., – November 24, 2008–BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), has introduced a new family of Linear Voice Coil Actuators that provides increased safety and long service life. The new family features two patented spring designs based on magnetic, rather than mechanical technology. This technology ensures constant and precise valve position in either the open or closed setting when electrical power is off. OEMs designing products for safety-critical applications such as medical apparatus and other equipment that depend on maintaining a constant valve setting, will find the new actuators an ideal, low-cost solution. “Traditionally, mechanical springs have been used to provide a measure of safety for assuring valve position,” e...
Bei Kimco Magnetics Bldc Motor Meets Challenging Requirements For Modern Medical Device Technology
Vista, CA (February 4th, 2010) - BEI KIMCO MAGNETICS BLDC MOTOR MEETS CHALLENGING REQUIREMENTS FOR MODERN MEDICAL DEVICE TECHNOLOGY VISTA, Calif., – October 30, 2009–BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), Inc., recently met the challenging motor requirements for a revolutionary new cast removal system for a leading medical device manufacturer. The new cast cutting system was part of the manufacturer’s continuing goal to develop products that reduce trauma for pediatric patients. In this instance, the product would provide a new alternative to the conventional 40-year old cast saw technology, which was loud, cumbersome and threatening to small children. Key to the product’s design specification was a motor that would deliver consistently high torques to drive the cutting heads of the tool through several layers of cast material. It was also critical for the motor to be compact, ...
Vista, CA (February 4th, 2010) - BEI KIMCO SOLVES CHALLENGING APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ROBUST, HIGH TEMPERATURE MOTOR WITH PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES UP TO 220 ºC VISTA, Calif., – January 28, 2010–BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), Inc., recently met the challenging high-performance motor requirements for a Down Hole Measurement While Drilling (MWD) application. With oil companies drilling deeper than ever before to obtain increasingly valuable deposits, components within the drill tool must deliver reliable operation at the most extreme ambient temperatures. Key to the down hole tool string design was a motor capable of extended operation at elevated winding temperatures of up to 220 °C and pressures approaching 30,000 PSI. The motor would be used to position a sensor that would take measurements of the materials encountered during the oil exploration operations. T...
Bei Kimco And Crouzet Are Teaming Up To Better Serve Kimco European Customers
Vista, CA (February 4th, 2010) - BEI KIMCO AND CROUZET ARE TEAMING UP TO BETTER SERVE KIMCO EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS VISTA, Calif., – February 2, 2010–Since 2008, BEI Kimco and Crouzet are a part of Custom Sensors and Technologies’ motor activity. This new $50 M organization now supports a world-wide sales team, adaptation centers in Europe and the USA, with manufacturing sites in France, USA, Morocco and Mexico. Effective February 2010, the Crouzet sales team will take over the responsibility of all Kimco customers in Europe. Crouzet is present in all major European countries with local, dedicated sales teams. Both company’s business models are geared toward adapted products to best fit customer’s demanding applications. Kimco will continue focusing on Brushless direct drive motors and voice coil actuators, complementing Crouzet’s existing lines of geared brushless motors, and other geared motors of brush...
