Surgical Robotic Arm Systems & Hand Tools

Allied - Surgical Robotic Arms

The articulated arm joints found on many surgical robots, such as shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers/tools, must be precisely moved and positioned. Allied Motion is the leading supplier of high torque density, direct-drive joint motors and actuators (drive-integrated motor and autoclavable gearing), bestowing precision of motion on surgical robots.

Allied - Robotic Surgery End-Effectors, Instruments & Hand Tools

We offer autoclavable slotless motors and gearing used in surgical hand tools and the positioning system of the manipulators found on many robotic surgery programs. Extremely lightweight, high-torque and near-zero cogging, our motors are ideal for high-precision robotic surgery hand tools, end-effectors, and end-of-arm tooling.

Allied - Surgical Robotic Arm System Positioning

Our brushed and brushless DC motors, with integrated electronics and an optional integral holding brake, provide the motion control needed for quiet and smooth height adjustment and position holding of the surgical robot arm system.

Brushless DC Motors for Medical Air Pumps

Allied Motion - Brushless Motor Drives

Allied Motion offers several brushless motor drives to power our motors. The cost-effective single-axis SXD brushless motor drive is respectively, DC-fed and AC-fed full-featured servo drives. Both are compact, modular units able to precisely control motor torque or velocity. The SXD is rated up to 1000 W continuous and the xDrive can provide up to 4.4 kW continuous. Our patented DPFlex™ II brushless motor drive is the best choice for robust speed control of sensorless motors. The DPFlex II reliably starts sensoreless motors under load, and can drive suitable models to speeds as high as 150,000 RPM.

Critical Motion Solutions for Medical - Surgical Robot Control Console

Allied - Surgeon Console Adjustment & Positioning

Allied Motion’s brushless integrated motor drives, gear motors, and brushed and brushless DC motors power the linear actuation devices used to adjust console height, depth, and tilt, allowing the surgeon to position themselves comfortably throughout an operation.

Allied - Surgeon Console Controls

The surgeon’s movements made via the surgeon console are carried through to the arms located on the tower. Our autoclavable slotless motors and gearboxes are low cogging in order to reduce hysteresis drag and reduce friction, thus improving haptic feedback between the surgeon’s movements and the surgical robot’s arms.

Allied - Surgeon Console Maneuvering

Our family of brushless integrated motor drives, wheel drives and transaxles provide the steering and traction capabilities needed to maneuver the control console with ease and precision.

Brushless Motors for Cancer Screening & Oncology Equipment
