Positioning Motors for Treatment Tables | Specifications & Verification

Product Specifications

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. These motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion through electromagnetic induction, generating torque that is transmitted via gearboxes or direct drives to move table components with precise speed and position control, often using feedback systems like encoders for accuracy. Typical specifications include a rated power of 0.05–0.75 kW, rated torque of 0.16–4.8 N·m, rated speed of 1500–3000 r/min, positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm, repeatability of ±0.02 mm, supply voltage of 24 V DC (±10%), rated current of 1.5–6.0 A, operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C, protection class IP54–IP65 (per IEC 60529), insulation class F (per IEC 60085), noise level ≤55 dB(A) (per ISO 1680), and weight of 2.5–15 kg. Materials typically include copper windings, steel laminations, permanent magnets, and aluminum housing. These values are directory reference ranges and must be confirmed for the actual model and application. Always verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement or use.

Working Principle

Positioning motors operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When electric 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. Feedback systems, such as encoders, provide position and speed signals to the control system, enabling precise adjustments. The motor's speed and torque are controlled by varying the current and voltage, allowing for smooth and accurate positioning. The mechanical design, including gear reduction, determines the final output speed and torque, while the feedback loop ensures the desired position is achieved and maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the typical power and torque ranges for positioning motors?

According to directory data, positioning motors typically have a rated power of 0.05–0.75 kW and rated torque of 0.16–4.8 N·m. These values are reference ranges and must be confirmed for the specific model and application.

What is the positioning accuracy and repeatability?

The directory lists positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm and repeatability of ±0.02 mm. These are typical values; actual performance depends on the motor, feedback system, and mechanical assembly.

What supply voltage and current are required?

The supply voltage is 24 V DC with a tolerance of ±10%, and the rated current is 1.5–6.0 A. Ensure the power supply can deliver the required current for the specific motor.

What environmental and protection specifications should be considered?

Operating temperature range is -20 to 60 °C, protection class is IP54–IP65 (per IEC 60529), and insulation class is F (per IEC 60085). Noise level is ≤55 dB(A) per ISO 1680. Verify these with the manufacturer for your environment.
