Quiet precision
Drive solutions for medical technology
Whether operating table, diagnostic device, or laboratory automation: ball screw drives move medical systems with the highest precision.
Precision meets hygiene
Medical technology is subject to special requirements: absolute reliability, sterile materials, and precise motion guidance.
Ball screw drives enable backlash-free linear motion with exact repeatability. The virtually frictionless running ensures quiet operation without stick-slip effects, which is crucial especially in sensitive clinical areas. Stainless steel, Niro, and other corrosion-resistant materials ensure easy cleaning and long-term use in sterile environments. Biocompatible lubricants that meet FDA requirements ensure suitability for cleanrooms.
Typical Applications:
- Height-adjustable operating and treatment tables
- Imaging systems (CT, MRI, X-ray)
- Surgical robotics and assistance systems
- Laboratory automation and sample handling
- Patient positioning systems
