Customised gearbox solutions for advanced X-ray systems

Medical X-ray equipment places demanding requirements on the components responsible for positioning and movement. Gearboxes must provide precise and repeatable motion while meeting the high standards associated with medical equipment.

For NRT, standard gearbox configurations could not always provide the exact combination of mechanical interfaces, gear ratios, shaft configurations and performance required for the different movements in its X-ray systems.

NRT therefore needed a gearbox supplier capable of adapting proven gearbox technology to the specific requirements of each application.

BJ-Gear developed customised gearbox configurations based on the requirements of NRT’s X-ray systems.

For the Celex system, several different BJ-Gear gearboxes are used. Depending on the application, the gearboxes have been adapted with special side flanges, increased gear ratios, extended or dual output shafts and complete assemblies. Several configurations are also supplied with motors.

BJ-Gear gearboxes are also used for positioning movements in NRT’s RSA equipment, including movement of the patient table and telescopes.

The combination of adaptable gearbox designs, precision manufacturing and close technical cooperation enables NRT to integrate transmission solutions tailored to the mechanical and performance requirements of its medical equipment.
