VCAZ0010 Micro Flexible Vibrating Feeder Voice Coil Motor Fast Response

Product Overview

The VCAZ0010-0020-00A flexible vibrating feeder voice coil motor is a compact direct-drive linear actuator developed by SUPT MOTION for pharmaceutical capsule, tablet and micro-pill feeding lines. Unlike conventional electromagnetic vibration motors that rely on springs, cams or eccentric weights, this voice coil actuator transforms coil current directly into a controllable micro-vibration stroke, so the feeding amplitude and frequency can be tuned in real time through the drive electronics. With only a 1.5 mm total stroke, a 4.2 N peak force and a 69 g actuator weight, the motor delivers fast response motion without overshoot, making it a natural fit for cleanroom feeding stations where gentle, repeatable part handling is essential.

Solution

Pharmaceutical feeding stations often struggle with sticky, lightweight or fragile parts that jam on traditional vibratory bowls. The VCAZ0010 solves this by combining a short, high-frequency stroke with programmable forward and reverse motion, letting the system disperse and converge capsules without damaging them. A flexible feeding mechanism integrated with an adjustable backlight supports automatic visual inspection, so downstream vision cameras and pick-and-place robots can locate each capsule before it reaches the sealing station. Because the coil is driven by current rather than line frequency, engineers can dial in the exact amplitude for each SKU, reduce product changeover time, and keep the feeder quiet enough for GMP cleanroom environments. The result is fewer jams, higher orientation accuracy and a smoother, more predictable feeding rate.

Customization and Support

SUPT MOTION supports OEM projects with custom stroke ranges, thrust ranges and mounting interfaces, and can supply matched drive electronics for plug-and-play integration. Samples are available for validation, and the engineering team provides technical support throughout the design-in phase. All units are tested before shipment and covered by a standard warranty. Motors are packed in anti-static shockproof foam inside export-grade cartons, and matched drive electronics can be supplied with each order. Standard lead time is 3-5 days for samples and 5-7 days for stock, with bulk schedules confirmed at order placement.

FAQ

Q1: What is the peak force of this flexible vibrating feeder motor?
The VCAZ0010-0020-00A delivers a 4.2 N peak force and 2.2 N continuous stall force at 1.6 A.

Q2: Can the vibration amplitude be adjusted for different capsules?
Yes. The amplitude is program-controlled through the drive current, so operators can switch SKUs without mechanical changeover.

Q3: Is this motor suitable for a GMP cleanroom?
Yes. The direct-drive design runs quietly and produces no carbon brush dust, which suits cleanroom feeding stations.

Q4: What is the expected service life?
The actuator is rated for at least 100 million cycles under standard operating conditions.

Q5: Do you support custom stroke or thrust?
Yes. Stroke range and thrust range can be customized on request to match your feeding line.
