Technical details and manufacturing context for Positioning Motors

Definition
Positioning motors are specialized electric motors integrated into treatment tables to provide accurate, controlled movement for adjusting patient positioning, table height, tilt angles, and other therapeutic orientations. They enable healthcare professionals to precisely position patients for various medical treatments, examinations, and procedures.
Working Principle
Positioning motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion through electromagnetic induction. When current flows through the motor windings, it creates a rotating magnetic field that interacts with permanent magnets or rotor windings, producing torque. This rotational motion is then transmitted through gearboxes or direct drives to move treatment table components with precise speed and position control, often using feedback systems like encoders for accuracy.
Common Materials
Copper windings, Steel laminations, Permanent magnets, Aluminum housing
