MOTION 21XX

Company Profile

Founded in 1974, Kimco Magnetics is one of the original pioneers to commercialize products made with rare earth magnet materials. Kimco Magnetics was acquired in 1984 by BEI Technologies and was subsequently added to the business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies in 2006. We have merged leading-edge capabilities and cost effective manufacturing know-how with highly personalized applications expertise. This combination has propelled BEI Kimco Magnetics into market dominance where we have remained a leading manufacturer of brushless DC motors and linear and rotary voice coil actuators for over 35 years. In that time, we have put thousands of BEI Kimco motors and actuators into products in markets ranging from medical and automotive to office and factory automation. With a time-to-market as short as eight weeks, BEI Kimco Magnetics has maintained innovative, high quality products and holds numerous electro-magnetic patents. At BEI Kimco, we never lose sight of the value of personal service, expert design engineering, and product innovation. Optimizing Motion Control Design At BEI Kimco Magnetics, we integrate our expertise with customer requirements in motion control devices. Latest technologies range from Smart Actuators, to SERVO-SMART actuator systems, providing direct drive actuation for applications from factory automation, to low-bandwidth torquers, ideal for gimbal drives, robotics and other stabilized platform applications. It means faster, quieter, more reliable devices for semiconductor and medical equipment where throughput and life itself are critical to success. We remain deeply committed to solving your application challenges through technological innovation. Take our Spherical Voice Coil Actuator for example – Roll Pitch and Yaw motion in one device. Think of the possibilities. With our brushless DC noise attenuation patent – perhaps you may find it to be the right answer.
