Medical equipment range
09 June 2015
Based on proven technology, Tsubakimoto Chain has designed an extensive range of products to support manufacturers of medical equipment. The range of drive units, lifting gear and power cylinders can help to deliver unrivalled quality, functionality and reliability.

Most medical diagnostic equipment, such as CT scanners, MRI units and X-ray machines use powered drive systems to lift, transfer, tilt or rotate sections of the equipment in order to provide optimal results. Very often this movement must be precise and repeatable which are qualities that Tsubaki has worked hard to perfect.
The range includes the Zip Chain Actuator which is extremely compact, capable of high speed operation and uses less than 1/30th of the power of hydraulic or pneumatic actuators.
