Sensors and sensor systems for medical technology equipment

Inelta Sensorsysteme has a broad portfolio of high-precision and particularly small LVDT displacement sensors and force sensors that are particularly suitable for use in medical technology equipment. In addition, the company develops and manufactures application-specific special solutions with appropriately adapted dimensions as well as complex sensor systems and advises manufacturers of medical devices on sensor customisation and implementation. On request, Inelta also integrates the sensors into assemblies for medical devices.

LVDT displacement sensors can be found, for example, in medical assistance systems such as surgical robots for the micrometre-precise positioning of instruments, lasers or probes. The non-contact, inductive measuring principle guarantees wear-free, long-lasting use. The sensor specialist has developed particularly small-sized sensor series. These include the IZAL LVDT sensors with a diameter of just 4 mm and a 55 mm long housing. 

Inelta's portfolio also includes particularly small force sensors such as the FS09 series, which have extremely small dimensions of just 7x17x19 mm. The smallest bending beam force sensor models include the FS12 force sensors, which weigh just 20 g and measure just 8 x 9 x 30 mm. They are used, for example, for tactile force measurements in surgical robot arms or for load tests on small components. Force transducers from Inelta are also used in mammography compression devices, for example.
