High-Force Electric Linear Actuators, Designed for Quiet, Smooth Operation In Medical Imaging Equipment

Challenge

An OEM of medical imaging equipment required a high-force linear actuator solution for a new patient couch lifting mechanism in development. The OEM considered using electro-mechanical actuators for the new couch but found they were too large to fit into their scissor lift mechanism to produce the required force. In addition, electro-mechanical actuation solutions were too noisy and would not achieve the desired dB target.

Kyntronics Solution

  • “Total Solution” high-force electric linear actuator that fits into an irregular space including the servo motor, drive and control.
  • A low dB noise level solution.

Customer Benefits

  • Quiet operation with smooth motion.
  • Easy integration with a total solution package.
  • Longer life expectancy than a screw-type actuator.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 8”
Speed: 1 in/sec
Force: 5,300 lbf.
