Medical Technology
Precise, quiet, and reliable
Maximum precision and absolute reliability – in service of people
In medical technology, people are at the center — and so are the highest standards of safety, hygiene, precision, and reliability. Drives used in medical devices must operate with extreme dependability, minimal vibration, and quiet performance. At the same time, precise motion control is essential — for example, in patient table adjustments, surgical system positioning, or imaging procedures. Here, uncompromising quality is a must.
