Geeplus Voice Coil Motors benefit from overmoulded coils for greater strength and better packing In addition to winding their own coils, Geeplus are now able to overmould the coils used in their voice coil motors. Being an in-house facility, Geeplus can now offer even greater levels of quality control. One of the first standard products to benefit from this improvement is the VM16, although the process will be extended to all Geeplus VCMs.
New Bearing Race Design gives Geeplus Voice Coil Motors a life extension of more than 100 million cycles In order to provide even smoother and considerably longer operation of their VM38 voice coil motor, Geeplus has developed a new version which incorporates redesigned bearing races in order to provide the shaft with a virtually friction free movement.
New design of the Super Stroke Solenoid from Geeplus reduces noise In addition to doubling the useful stroke of a standard solenoid, Geeplus have now developed a Super Stroke Solenoid suitable for applications where noise is an issue.
GIVING YOU THE BEST FINISH Ensuring the quality of the products you receive from us, has always been our priority. In order to achieve this, we have invested heavily in new equipment in order to maintain that quality.

GEEPLUS DESIGNED THEIR OWN CABLE TIDY The novel cable ‘bobble’ allows the user to control the length of cable through the device without excessive pulling, and likewise, the cable can be dropped through the desktop to keep cables out of the way when not in use. Currently suitable for use used with devices or instruments with connectors small enough to pass through the 22mm hole although Geeplus have indicated that larger sizes will soon be available. Easily installed in a 38mm (1‐1/2”) hole in worktops 12‐40mm thick. The large nut can be done up securely by hand without any need for tools.

RE-ENGINEERED ROTARY SOLANOID FROM GEEPLUS PROVIDES PRICE REDUCTION Unlike many miniaturised components where a smaller size invariably means a higher price, a new 12mm bistable rotary solenoid from Geeplus, the BRS1212, has benefited from re-engineering which has resulted in reduced costs of up to 50% for volumes of 5k upwards. The device also incorporates of an end stop.
ROTARY SOLENOID RANGE IMPROVEMENTS SHOWN IN NEW GUIDE FROM GEEPLUS Continued improvement and additions throughout their standard rotary solenoid range has prompted Geeplus to produce a new guide to the revised specifications and increased applications of their products.
GEEPLUS USES AIR BEARINGS TO DEVELOP VOICE COILS WITH FRACTION FREE SHAFT MOVEMENT Giving resolution down to one µmtr, a voice coil motor with a built in positioning encoder developed by Geeplus, is now available with an almost limitless lifespan thanks to the incorporation of an air bearing. Although used on large devices, this is believed to be the first time that such small dimensions have been achieved in this type of motor using an air bearing
GEEPLUS MAGNET ASSEMBLY PROVIDES INCREASED PERFORMANCE Using a highly optimised magnet assembly to produce exceptional force / mass ratio for high acceleration in dynamic applications, the new VM6340 is one of a new generation of voice coil motors from Geeplus capable of providing an increase of 30-50% in performance.
NEW VOICE COIL MOTOR FROM GEEPLUS USES FLEX CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY FOR MORE CONSISTENT FORCE Based on their VM2618 voice coil motor, the new VM2836 from Geeplus benefits from a flex circuit termination and cover.
