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.

Application examples for Surgical Devices & Robots

Customer specific valve manifolds and assembly groups even for most complex tasks.

The efficient assemblies for pressure and vacuum applications are customized to the requirements of the customer application. The valve blocks impress with their compact design, their high range of functions including electronics and thanks to the simple installation.

The proportional valves are especially suited to precisely control and regulate the flow of air and water.

Kendrion's proportional valves are characterised by their precise controllability. They are used, for example, in laboratory and analysis technology for mixing and dosing fuel gases, and in dental technology for supplying compressed air to dental turbines.

Whether for air, water, CO2 or oxygen, the pressure regulators from Kendrion are convincing when used with numerous media. Discover the new pressure regulator Pure flow, which has been specially developed for medical gases and biocompatible applications in order to meet the high requirements for medical and analytical products.

The flat spring-applied brake of the ‘Servo Slim Line’ with a large inner diameter for mounting on hollow shaft drives is a convincing solution as a holding brake in autonomous mobile robots. The lightweight brakes guarantee maximum safety for solutions up to 20 kg.

Fluid isolation valve is used medical units and digital printing devices.

The fluid isolation valve is used in the air and water supply in dental supply units. Thanks to its high media compatibility and low dead space volume, as well as its KTW approval, the valve meets the high requirements of the dental industry.

With a very high holding force of at least 1,600 N and shock resistance up to 100 g, Kendrion now offers a solenoid door lock focused on safety.

As an experienced manufacturer of ready-to-install locks and latches, Kendrion offers tailor-made solutions for laboratory and testing equipment. Find out more about our extensive portfolio.

The high performance solenoids excel by an enormous stroke density and a flexible modular system. They are used wherever large forces, short duty cycles and high efficiency with limited installation space are required.

The solenoids from Kendrion are used in a variety of different industries, including medical technology. They serve as safety components in X-ray machines or as actuating magnets in dialysis machines.

The classic permanent magnet brake from the PM Line is installed in modern X-ray machines and ensures precise positioning and holding of the axes. The high power density combined with wear-free and residual torque-free operation as well as short switching times are convincing in the application.
