Drive technology with a high safety margin
Motorised drives provide for extreme precision in the handling of patients and in imaging processes such as X-ray, MRI or ultrasonic examinations. These applications require positioning accuracy within a tolerance of millimetres or even less. Since the machines are used for examining human patients, safety margins are extremely important in the case of a malfunction. Nabtesco cycloidal gears are the ideal choice!

High precision
The low backlash of less than one arcminute in our precision gears is decisive for high-quality and detailed images of the body.
Low operating noise
Our low noise version with optimised gear geometry in the first gear stage ensures exceptionally quiet operation.
Maximum safety
An emergency stop torque of up to 5 times the rated torque guarantees maximum safety.
A symbiosis of safety, hygiene and performance
We supply customised and holistic precision gearboxes that more than meet the challenges of medical technology: Cycloidal gears from Nabtesco not only position with high precision and absolute reliability; they are also easy to clean and offer the necessary high safety reserves to ensure that patients and operating personnel are not harmed.
Precision gearboxes for medical technology:
Fast and precise positioning thanks to high torsional and bending rigidity - even at fast speeds and high loads | Minimal backlash over the entire service life | Maximum safety thanks to high emergency stop torque of up to 500 % of the nominal torque, up to 800 % on request | Resistance to cracks and breakage | Hygiene-friendly design for easy cleaning and disinfection | Hollow shaft for routing cables and hoses | Low wear with a long service life and virtually maintenance-free | Extremely quiet operation for maximum patient comfort | Compact design for easy integration even where installation space is limited | Absolute reliability thanks to 100 % testing | Verification by independent institutes and laboratories
