Gearbox assembly joins the circus
One of Empire Magnetics' custom motor gearbox assemblies has made its way into show business as an unnoticed yet essential co-star in "O" by Cirque du Soleil at Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Size 11 Medical Motors provide the size, reliability, durability and precision to help the Clinical Micropositioner provide incredibly high resolution and accuracy.
The Micropositioner can hit a target within 50 microns, and electrodes can be advanced through the brain over a 60-mm range of travel, in steps as small as 1 micron.
Size 11 Medical Motors are designed specifically for use with mechanical manipulators employed in neurosurgery applications.
They weigh just 0.2 pounds and feature a 1.1 inch diameter for performance where space is at a premium.
The motor is constructed with pins and a locator dowel that allows easy assembly by technicians wearing rubber gloves.
Size 11 Medical Motors are designed to be sterilized with alcohol, and facilitate the assembly of the machine in a sterile environment.
