Autoclavable controller

The controller draws on Portescap's leading autoclavable design capability and surgical application expertise to provide a reliable, customisable solution to the orthopedic market, helping to improve surgical hand tool performance and reliability, and take applications to market sooner.

The CNT1530 controller utilises on-board hall effect sensors – the magnetic actuation of speed and direction provided by this design delivers exceptional reliability due to a lack of mechanical components. In addition, the electronic components are encapsulated in a silicone potting material within an aluminum housing, which provides protection of the circuit board from the harsh environments of sterilisation washers and autoclaves. The controller is compatible with a range of input voltages allowing for use with multiple battery types. A small form factor enables designers to house the controller within a tool’s pistol grip to create exceptionally ergonomic designs.

The new BLDC controller is compatible with Portescap’s Large Bone Orthopedic motors. Customisation is available for partners needing tailored solutions.
