CTEC is developing and testing Rotary Voice Coil Motors (RVCM) for new cryogenic space scan mechanisms applications,
based on former MTG space program heritage. The RVCM is an electromagnetic motor based on Laplace force.
The motor is composed of coils at the rotor part (mobile) and magnets at the stator part (fixed). The Laplace motor
generates a pure torque, without cogging or parasitic force drawback, which makes it specifically relevant for scan mechanisms.
