Linear motion is a vital part of many medical devices and laboratory equipment. It enables devices to move smoothly and accurately, which is essential for tasks such as diagnosing diseases, performing surgeries, and analyzing test results. There are many factors that must be considered when designing linear motion systems for medical devices and laboratory equipment.
In every hospital, many special rooms are equipped with advanced machinery for diagnosis and improving patients’ health. Most of these advanced systems or machinery contains actuators inside that help improve patient care facilities, enhance the work efficiency of the medical field, alongside reduces the stress level of medical surgeon across the globe. From linear actuators
Linear actuators work well when it comes to material handling. However, they offer motion solutions that are required to get done the job. Due to this reason, they are extremely popular and widely used in various industrial applications. Well, in the previous post we have discussed the design principle of linear actuators and their types.
Electro-mechanical actuators, which are driven by an electric motor, are growing in popularity in in factory automation, packaging, health care devices, and many other fields. With simpler, and easier to control features, they can offer a better solution for various applications demanding high stroke speed and high precision controlled linear motion. This multi-purpose electric linear
Gone are the days wherein wheel chairs required an external support to manage the movements. Nowadays, the wheelchair user can himself control the chair all by himself, and adjust positions to suit his requirements. This is all possible due to the revolutionary invention of linear actuators that provide extreme flexibility to the user. With the actuator integrated wheelchair system, you won’t get tired sitting in the same position for a long time. Instead, you have options for raising, lowering, and reclining the seat, thereby giving the user with full motion control capabilities. This post discusses why wheel chairs driven by electric linear actuators are gaining popularity.
Owing to the impeccable performance capabilities, electric linear actuators are largely replacing pneumatic and hydraulic actuators in wheelchair assembly and other medical applications. Some medical devices powered by these actuators, include including operating room beds, dentist chairs, diagnostic systems (X-ray machines, MRI and CT scanners), and so on. What accounts for the immense popularity of these medical actuators? Read below to know more
Linear actuators provide accurate motion control in diverse applications, such as test equipment, assembly machinery, medical equipment, etc. Electric linear actuators are one of the common linear actuators, which are known to provide highest precision-control positioning. They have an accuracy range of about +/- 0.000315, which makes them applicable in diverse industrial applications. Today, there
Today healthcare facilities are compelled to focus on quality over quantity healthcare. They are relying on various advanced technologies improve their services. Hence, the demand for actuator driven electronic devices has increased. These devices add value to all kinds of hospital and healthcare equipment. Among various actuator driven medical devices, actuator-driven incubators and stretchers the
Ergonomics is very important when it comes to medical applications, such as dental chairs. The dental chairs often require adjustments for proper posture of patients. This requirement is fulfilled by actuators that add versatile adjustment to a dental chair, by combining different movements in one smooth operation. This offers comfort and safety to both the
Electric patient lifts are designed specifically to help patients or the elderly, who are unable to move from one place to another. This can be a short distance, such as from a bed to a chair, or a long distance, such as from one floor of a house to another. It can even be used
Linear actuator is defined as a device, which converts energy into a straight-line motion. However, this definition broadens when used in the context of linear actuators for medical equipment and devices such as dental chairs. Linear motion actuators for dental chairs have to meet more sophisticated challenges such as force, control, and speed. Unlike other
In hospitals and other medical facilities, various types of systems and machinery are used for diagnosis and improving patients’ lives. Today, most of these systems and machinery are automated and equipped with actuators, which help enhance patient care facilities, improve work inefficiencies of a medical department, and reduces stress on medical professionals. This post highlights
Electric treatment chairs have become a necessity in hospitals, clinics, and even non-medical organizations like barber shops and spas. These chairs are designed to provide comfortable seating for the patient or customer. They also allow the nurses or doctors to perform treatment effectively, while saving time, energy, and resources. The success of treatment chairs is
Wheelchair systems are one of the most popular medical industry devices. These systems are used by people with special physical conditions, or those recuperating from surgeries. Wheelchair systems are designed to provide mobility for such patients. However, most of the earlier systems were static, and users often required external support to manage them. Nowadays, these
Medical actuators are used in a different types of application in the healthcare industries. The most common example of an actuator application is the electric hospital bed. While manually cranked beds are still in use, electric hospital beds have been lauded for their safety, comfort, and ease of use. In this post, we are discussing
