Quiet, safe and precise

Motorised drives provide extreme precision for imaging processes like X-ray, nuclear spin or ultrasonic examinations. Positioning precisions in the millimetre range and even smaller are the norm. Since the machines are used for the examination of people, safety margins take on great importance in the event of an operational fault.

The compact RV gears from Nabtesco are especially well suited for this application:

• A low backlash of less than one angular minute makes an essential contribution to high-quality and detailed physical images
• Very safe with an emergency stop torque up to five times the rated torque
• Very quiet, "low-noise" variant with angular toothing of the first gear stage
