The Island Components brushless dc motors catalog features designs with DC voltage from 22 to 592; output power from 0.01 to 16.8 hp; continuous torque 0.11 to 16.8 in. lbs.; diameter/width from 0.8 to 11 inches; and shaft speed from 180 to 125,000 rpm. However, our actual range is much wider than shown in our catalogs and most of our products are made to order, usually as variations of our standards to meet specific customer requirements. Our motor controllers cover a correspondingly wide electrical range and may be packaged within the motor frame or externally. Supply voltage may be as high as required by the application, with typical aircraft transients and EMI requirements. We have exceptional skill in analog or digital control.

Island Components provide the basic components: motors and drive systems, feedback sensors, gearheads, clutches and brakes, and electronics for sophisticated higher-order assemblies and actuators, including rotary and electromechanical actuators, man-machine command systems and complete motion control servo systems. We offer optimal product design, quality, reliability and integrity on all of our components, from our DC brushless motors to hall sensor controllers, and more.

Their electromechanical, magnetic and electronic engineers have decades of experience in designing complex electronic motion control packages, including actuators and electronics for many of the target drones that are used today and the electronics design and electromechanical design of fin positioning and propulsion drives for underwater vehicles. Members of our research and development staff have published technical articles in motor design, magnetics and electronics and have several patents in motor design.

Van Nuys, CA – Linear DC Motors, Voice Coil Motors (VCM) or Voice Coil Actuators (VCA) are the simplest type of electric motors for motion control applications. These motors consist of two separate parts; the magnetic housing and the coil.

Applying a voltage across the terminals of the motor causes the motor to move to one direction. Reversing the polarity of the applied voltage will move the motor to the opposite direction. The generated force is proportional to the current that flows through the motor coil. This force is almost constant in the specified stroke range of the motor.

Voice coil motors do not need commutation and using a position sensor, positioning accuracies of less than one micron or 0.00004 inches are achievable.

The non-commutated motor construction increases reliability. The direct coupling of the motor to the load allows for fast acceleration / deceleration and high speed operation.
Very high speeds and accelerations can be easily achieved.

The moving part needs to be supported by a mechanism supplied by the customer.

This type of motor may be used in conjunction with a position sensor and a motion controller for accurate positioning.

All the following motors are also available with metric thread.

Customized solutions can be provided upon request.
