Electric linear actuators are transforming medical device design by delivering precision, reliability, and quiet operation across applications like surgical robots, infusion systems, and imaging equipment. This paper from Tolomatic outlines key considerations for OEMs, including performance specs, actuator type selection (rod vs. rodless), load and force calculations, and proper sizing. It emphasizes reliability, safety, serviceability, and manufacturability, urging designers to partner with experienced, flexible vendors. With the right planning and collaboration, engineers can meet stringent clinical demands while optimizing device efficiency, durability, and patient outcomes in an evolving healthcare landscape.
