Drives for pumps and medication delivery

Compact and reliable DC motors combined with quiet gearheads and encoders reliably inject precise quantities of vital medicines such as insulin into the body. The high efficiency and reliability of maxon drives also ensures that the pump systems can be operated with conventional batteries for longer periods of time.

Previously, patients requiring dialysis usually had to go to a clinic to be connected to a machine weighing more than 100 kilograms. And they had to do this for several hours, several times a week. Drive systems from maxon with a specially developed belt drive could help make regular dialysis treatment much easier for patients in the future. This is because miniaturized components are required for portable dialysis machines and backpack versions. These must be extremely powerful and at the same time as quiet as possible so that their use has a minimal impact on everyday life.

For peristaltic pumps used in medical technology and life sciences, we supplement motors made from maxon standard components with custom-made gearheads to create an application-specific system solution. Fluid can thus be transported with a high level of accuracy and without cross-contamination, and the peristaltic pump systems offer an impressively long service life and outstanding performance.
