Product description
The Cryo Voice Coil Actuator (CVCA) is an electromagnetic linear force actuator for cryogenic operation. The all-welded titanium construction with integrated power feedthrough pins hermetically encapsulates the coil making it also UHV compatible. The contactless nature of a voice coil actuator makes it especially suited for applications requiring smooth accurate positioning over the full stroke or for high lifetime applications like wafer probing.
