Applications in the medical industry come with complex design challenges to achieve increased automation and miniaturization of machinery.
Depending on the application, requirements may include reduced noise levels, high running accuracy, or low friction.
The products which we offer you for the medical industry, are designed to use the most appropriate materials to achieve performance levels required for the application.
Linear technology
Healthcare today demands a value added approach. The EWELLIX® medical sector team provides valuable knowledge and experience in medical device product development/manufacturing market. We offer complete solutions for effortless motion control, smart control functionality, and flexible modular solutions for driving increased productivity, safety and patient comfort. Like linear actuators, lifting column (telescopic pillars), ball profile rail guides, precision rails guides, linear ball bearings, precision roller and ball screws, control boxes and controls.
Motion Plastics – IGUS
Self-lubricating, hygienic and cleanroom parts ideal for the medical industry. It is crucial that the components used in medical equipment be dry-running, cleanroom-compatible, media-resistant, corrosion-resistant and noise-damping. igus® supplies plastic plain bearings, linear bearings, cables, and e-chain® cable carriers that encompass all of these properties.
Further to that, igus® is expanding its range of high-performance plastics for medical technology. New to the product range: xiros® MT180, a material for light, hygienic, dry-running deep groove ball bearings (certified USP Class VI and DIN EN ISO 10993).
Sealing solutions
The aim of any product or device in the Healthcare & Medical industry is to improve the patients' quality of life. Due to the extremely personal nature of the industry, any part, product or device produced is critical in nature. High quality and reliability are essential. Trelleborg sealing solutions offers a wide range of Medical Grade O-Rings and sealings for healthcare & medical applications. For example, Diaphragm Seals, Sanitary Gaskets, Glyd Ring®, Slydring®, Turcon® Varilip® PDR, Turcon® Variseal®, Wipers and Scrapers and many others.
Further to our wide range of sealing solutions we can make customized machined seals in minutes instead of waiting days for delivery with our SKF SEAL JET machining system.
Rod ends, spherical plain bearings
Rotating, tilting, and swivelling, this has been DURBAL® profession for over eight decades. They are a reliable supplier in medical technology and they implement specific customer requests according to drawings. Here, the highest precision is essential, as it is mostly about human life.
This is exactly where DURBAL® guarantees safe mechanical processes to protect health in many areas. DURBAL® Classic Line products with DURBAL-Glide technology and DURBAL® Premium Line products with roller or steel balls are built into operating tables, rescue beds / stretchers or robotic surgery for example. Their product portfolio offers you optimally coordinated solutions as well in stainless steel.
Rolling bearings
Our bearings are designed and manufactured to meet specific customer requirements and medical machine standards for computed tomography (CT) scanners, oncology treatment equipment and blood analyzers. We offer high-speed bearings also in stainless steel that can reduce friction and provide a low noise level. The bearings are designed to use the most appropriate materials to achieve performance levels required for the application.
