What are precision angular contact bearings?

Precision angular contact bearings are high-precision bearings that can withstand both radial and axial loads. The raceways of the inner and outer rings are designed at a certain angle, allowing the bearings to maintain stability and precision at high speeds. This type of bearing has the characteristics of low friction, high rigidity, and high speed, making it very suitable for medical devices that require extremely high precision and reliability.

The key role of precision angular contact bearings in medical devices

1. CT scanners

CT scanners are important tools for medical imaging diagnosis, and their core component, the rotating gantry, needs to operate at extremely high speeds and precision. Precision angular contact bearings are used to support the rotating gantry to ensure that it remains stable at high speeds, thereby obtaining clear images. The high-precision design of the bearings can also reduce vibration and noise, improving the patient's examination experience.

2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Equipment

The magnet system in MRI equipment requires extremely high stability and precision. Precision angular contact bearings are used to support the rotating parts of the magnet to ensure that the equipment remains stable during long-term operation, thereby providing high-quality imaging results.

3. Medical centrifuges

In the process of blood separation and drug preparation, medical centrifuges need to operate at extremely high speeds. Precision angular contact bearings can withstand the load caused by high-speed rotation while maintaining low friction and low heat generation, ensuring the stability and safety of the centrifugal process.

4. Surgical robots

Modern minimally invasive surgical robots have extremely high requirements for precision, and precision angular contact bearings are usually used in the joints of their robotic arms. These bearings can achieve high-precision motion control, help doctors complete complex surgical operations, and reduce patient trauma and recovery time.

5. Dental equipment

In dental drills and implant equipment, precision angular contact bearings can withstand high-speed rotation and complex loads, ensuring stable operation of the equipment during treatment and providing patients with accurate treatment.

Why do medical devices need precision angular contact bearings?

High precision

The operating accuracy of medical equipment is directly related to the accuracy of diagnostic results and treatment effects. Precision angular contact bearings can ensure that the equipment maintains extremely high stability during high-speed operation.

Low noise and low vibration

In medical environments, the noise and vibration of equipment can affect the patient's experience and even interfere with diagnostic results. Precision angular contact bearings effectively reduce noise and vibration through optimized design and material selection.

Long life and high reliability

Medical equipment usually needs to run continuously for a long time, and the reliability of the bearing is directly related to the life and operating efficiency of the equipment. Precision angular contact bearings use high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes to meet the high reliability requirements of medical equipment.

Cleanliness and corrosion resistance

In medical environments, equipment needs to be disinfected and cleaned frequently. Precision angular contact bearings are usually made of stainless steel or ceramic materials, which have good corrosion resistance and cleanliness.

Although small, precision angular contact bearings play an indispensable role in medical devices. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology, precision angular contact bearings will continue to bring more innovations and breakthroughs to the medical industry and protect human health.
