The Application of Motor in Medical Industry

With the further increase of enterprise management reform and key support for the manufacturing industry in China, state-owned and large medical equipment production enterprises and listed companies have increased their investment in the research and development and production of medical equipment. In the current situation, improving the software and hardware conditions of hospitals and increasing medical service income is an important way for hospitals to reduce their dependence on drug income. The demand for high-end medical equipment will constitute a continuous driving force for the development of the medical device industry, further promoting China’s medical device industry to enter a new stage of development.
Shenzhen Zhongling Technology Co., Ltd. (ZLTECH for short) currently supply product for medical equipment: low-speed DC servo motor+DC servo driver, integrated step-servo motor.

Integrated stepper motor Low Voltage DC Servo Motor Driver

Servo motor is a type of motor that could rotate with high precision. Electrical signals can be converted into torque and speed to drive the control object, so servo motor can also be called execution motor. Usually, this type of motor consists of a control circuit that provides feedback on the current position of the motor shaft, which enables the servo motor to rotate with high accuracy.
Integrated step-servo motor is a new type of motion control product that combines a stepper motor with a micro driver. The stepper motor serves as the motion platform and is driven and controlled through a micro driver.
Motor has various applications in the medical field, and the following are some common examples:
(1)Medical device: Motor can be used for precise motion control in medical devices, such as surgical robots, microscopes, syringes, infusion pumps, etc. They can provide high-precision position control and speed adjustment to achieve precise operation and treatment.

(2)Artificial joint: Electric motors can be used for motion control of artificial joints, such as artificial heart valves, artificial limbs, etc. By controlling the motion of the servo motor, it is possible to simulate the movement of natural joints and help restore patient function.
(3)Medical imaging equipment: Motors can be used for motion control in medical imaging equipment, such as CT scanners, X-ray machines, nuclear magnetic resonance machines, etc. They can achieve smooth rotation and movement to obtain clear image results.
