This unique linear actuator was designed exclusively for patient handling applications such as lifting devices, stretchers, and multipurpose tables. The completely self-contained unit consists of a pump, reservoir, cylinder, and valve, with no external hoses or fittings. This design makes for an incredibly easy installation with minimal maintenance requirements. In addition, the robust actuator system has high structural rigidity. Features of the compact system include: quiet and smooth operation, one-hand operation, and dependable load holding capability--a prerequisite for any kind of patient handling application. The unit's stroke length ranges from 10 to 14 inch (250 to 350 mm) with a maximum lift capacity of 1,350 lb (6N). The pump plunger diameter is 0.55 inch (14 mm); main plunger diameter is 0.87 inch (22 mm); and the main plunger end is 0.48 inch (12.2 mm). Pump stroke is 35 deg. Power-Packer (F) Product Code 4356

Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
