Autoclavable drive systems for powered surgical hand tools

Powered surgical hand tools such as shavers, small‑bone drillers, and similar instruments place extreme demands on drive systems. They must deliver high intermittent speed and torque, high power density and precise control, while withstanding repeated sterilization cycles with high temperatures and humidity. At the same time, low vibration, quiet operation, reliability, and long service life are essential to ensure safe and efficient use in the operating room.

In this webinar, you will learn how FAULHABER autoclavable drive systems are designed to meet these challenging requirements through robust product design, application‑specific features and thorough validation. Our expert explains how FAULHABER supports surgical tools designers in selecting the right drive solution, taking into account cyclic operation and the influence of the hand tool housing on thermal behavior.
