In modern medical technology, drive systems must meet the highest standards. In addition to complying with strict safety and hygiene regulations, they also need to be compact to fit within the often limited space inside medical devices. For example, to enable surgical robots to execute high-performance movements, a high power density with an efficient spatial layout is essential. Abrasive wear that could increase backlash is not acceptable—only then can the stringent precision requirements be met.
speeroX fulfills these demands and is custom-engineered based on specific parameters for each application. In this project, a speeroX gear set was developed for an already conceptualized drive—the RAD (Right-Angle Drive) from maxon. The speeroX gearing was dimensioned according to the defined interface requirements and optimized for load capacity and manufacturability. Because of its use in the medical field, the focus was on precision, reliability, and safety.
The subsequent two-year validation phase was completed successfully, underscoring the innovative gear and motor expertise of maxon, combined with Framo Morat’s extensive experience in gear technology. maxon and Framo Morat are now jointly moving into series production and assembly. The speeroX gear sets are manufactured to meet the highest medical standards and are integrated into the RAD right-angle drives.
The drive’s robust design—which includes both a speeroX right-angle stage and a planetary stage—ensures long-lasting, safe operation in medical environments. At the same time, the RAD right-angle drive remains lightweight, making it ideal for use in state-of-the-art surgical robots. The gearbox’s minimal backlash also ensures maximum precision for highly complex robotic applications.
Through its partnership with Framo Morat, maxon has integrated the innovative speeroX gear technology into its technology portfolio, winning over its first customers. The RAD enables precise and efficient power transmission, making it well-suited for the complex requirements of modern medical systems. The close collaboration between maxon and Framo Morat demonstrates that—especially in demanding fields like medical technology—the future of drive systems can be shaped through shared innovation and expertise.
