  This paper presents the design of the actuator for the fast and high accuracy Wire Scanner system. The actuator consists of a rotary brush-less synchronous motor with the permanent magnet rotor installed inside the vacuum chamber and the stator installed outside. The fork, permanent magnet rotor and two angular position sensors are mounted on the same axis and located inside the beam vacuum chamber. The system has to resist a bake-out temperature of 200°C and ionizing radiation up to tenths of kGy/year. Maximum wire travelling speed of 20 m/s and a position measurement accuracy of 4 μm is required. Therefore, the system must avoid generating vibration and electromagnetic interference. A digital feedback controller will allow maximum flexibility for the loop parameters and feeds the 3-phase linear power driver. The performance of the presented design is investigated through simulations and experimental tests.
