19 October 2015
Cycloidal gears from Nabtesco are designed for extremely reliable, quiet and precise operation, making them suitable for use in medical imaging processes such as X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound scanning, as well as for patient positioning or shock-wave therapy.

Medical technology requires instruments with precise motorised drives for safe and quiet operation around people. In addition to precise positioning within a tolerance of millimetres Nabtesco Vigo Drive RV-N and RH-N cycloidal gears and gear heads are also designed with a high margin of safety to prevent injuries to patients and staff in the event of a disruption.
Nabtesco gears are designed for a long life and stable operation, with an emergency stop torque of up to 5 times the rated torque. In addition, their overload capacity allows them to move heavy loads easily.
