These compact motors offer almost 50 percent more continuous torque over similar comparative motors without compromising […]
Brush DC versus brushless DC motors in disposable tools
Disposable medical hand tools are seeing increased use due to their cost and hygiene benefits. Engineers who design these tools usually specify brush DC or brushless DC motors. Here we compare these two options. By Clémence Muron • Applications engineer | Portescap An early step of surgical power tool engineering is to determine whether the […]
Portescap motors support critical-care applications during COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is creating an urgent need for critical-care equipment such as ventilators and infusion systems — as well as increased demand for lab analyzers. Portescap has been a leading expert in miniature motors and precision motion control solutions for medical devices and clinical diagnostics for many decades and is proud to be able […]
Selecting miniature motors for surgical devices
By Keith Halbert, PhD • Portescap || Device makers and surgeons have for decades relied on sterilizable brushless direct current (BLDC) motors to meet the torque, speed, and reliability requirements of surgical handtools. Now surgical robotics are leveraging these same capabilities. Today’s surgical robotics and robotically-assisted surgical devices often require BLDC motors to meet demanding […]
