Holding brakes for exact positioning

of surgery devices & robots in medical technology

In the dynamic world of medical technology, holding brakes play a critical role in ensuring the safety and precision of surgical procedures. These vital components are integrated into advanced surgical devices and robots, providing accurate positioning and stability. They are also key to safely halting automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that support medical teams.


Functionality and importance of holding brakes in medical technology

Holding brakes are crucial for motion control in medical devices, stopping and securing equipment in position, which is especially important in surgery where precision is paramount. They must operate quietly to avoid disrupting the operating room and have a high power density for efficiency in tight spaces. Immediate response and secure positioning are essential for patient safety.


Choosing the right holding brakes for medical applications

Our range of holding brakes, designed for medical technology's stringent demands, includes spring-applied brakes and permanent-magnet brakes tailored for specific needs. Our focus on safety, quality, and customized solutions, backed by expert advice, ensures you find the optimal holding brake for your application.
