Solenoids have established themselves as fundamental tools in multiple facets of medicine. These devices have changed the landscape of the medical field by offering diverse solutions for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. In addition, they are increasingly used in scientific research.
Where do we find solenoids in medicine?
Solenoids are used in analytical, testing, or other medical testing machinery applications. The solenoid is placed on the door of the device, acting as a latch and keeping the machine closed while the process that the medical machinery is performing is being carried out.
Other medical equipment, such as ventilators, use solenoids to control valves and flow regulators, allowing the amount of air supplied to patients to be adjusted. Drug dosing systems can incorporate solenoids to open and close valves, ensuring that the correct dose is administered at the right time.
Types of solenoids for the medical sector:
There are several types of solenoids used in the medical sector, with linear solenoids being the most common due to their versatility. Although there are different designs and configurations available, it is essential to select the right solenoid for each specific situation, as each type offers unique features that are best suited to specific scenarios.
ECM SERIES – Circular-shaped linear solenoids with optional spring. Recommended for panel mounting.
ERDI SERIES – Bistable linear solenoids; the movement is performed by an electromagnetic pulse. Maintenance of fixed positions by means of magnets.
ER SERIES – Single-acting linear solenoids with optional spring.
In conclusion, solenoids are essential components in medicine, providing crucial advances in areas such as diagnosis, surgery, and scientific research. Their ability to generate controlled magnetic fields has significantly improved the accuracy and safety of many medical procedures.
At NAFSA, we not only design solenoids but also customize them to meet the needs of each project. Our team accompanies the process from start to finish, ensuring that every detail is covered to offer tailor-made solutions for each sector.
