Schaeffler has introduced the EMA-80M linear actuator, designed for height-adjustable patient tables in medical imaging and surgical environments. The actuator can lift up to 20,000 N at 25 mm/s and is energy-efficient and maintenance-free.

It meets IEC 60601-1 safety standards and includes an integrated mechanical brake for enhanced safety. This product expands Schaeffler's EWELLIX EMA-series, providing a compact alternative to dual actuators and hydraulic systems, thus simplifying designs for medical device manufacturers.
