Linear Technology Industry
Quiet, precise and hygienic adjustment for medical devices and equipment.
Medical applications require movement that is precise, quiet and safe - often on devices working close to patients and under hygiene requirements. S+R sizes electric actuators so positioning accuracy, smooth running, stainless-steel exterior parts, wipe-clean surfaces and documented interfaces fit together.
Typical tasks
Which motion needs to work reliably in this application?
positioning in imaging and diagnostic devices
adjustment on treatment and laboratory equipment
quiet, low-jerk motion axes
small, repeatable series
Requirements
Sizing starts with the environment, not with the nameplate.
precise and quiet positioning
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
stainless-steel exterior parts and wipe-clean surfaces
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
low to medium forces
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
compact installation space
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
documented, repeatable series state
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
S+R solution route
Project requirements become a robust motion solution.
clarify motion task, force range and installation space
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
choose quiet, compact design and suitable surface
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
define feedback and control connection
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
set series and documentation concept
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
Technology building blocks
Proven design principles as a basis for individual solutions.
AP, SP and XP are not a rigid product logic; they are typical ways to build force line, installation space, protection and control.
Application images
Views of assemblies, installation space and real operating environments.
The images show typical tasks in this industry: installation space, interfaces, drive position, mounting and environment become visible directly at the component.

Real-world project example
Short installed length for a compact machine module
An existing machine geometry left very little axial space but required a robust lifting motion.
