Nidec’s high-precision gear reducers play a vital role in medical imaging systems by delivering smooth, quiet, and highly accurate performance. These applications demand components that are not only compact and efficient but also exceptionally reliable to support the stringent accuracy requirements of medical equipment such as CT scanners, MRI machines, and robotic imaging arms.
Our inline planetary gear reducers, particularly those with <3 arc-min of backlash, are frequently chosen for their exceptional positioning precision. For applications involving offset loads or articulating arms, our VRS and VRT series — with tapered roller bearings at the output — are ideal for managing higher radial forces while maintaining performance.
We also offer FLEXWAVE strain wave and KINEX cycloidal gear reducers, engineered for high shock-load capacity, low backlash, and long service life. These features ensure excellent repeatability and precision in imaging tasks that require fine motion control and accuracy.
For film-based imaging systems or those that print to other substrates, Nidec DTC provides specialized traction drive assemblies. These drives ensure ultra-smooth rotation and eliminate speed irregularities often associated with high-frequency gear transmissions.
