    Computer tomographs

    The critically smooth, quiet and precise running behaviors of Steinmeyer zero-backlash ball screws have proven ideal in applications such as: Beam Articulation & Masking.  Here a miniature ball screw is the heart of an aperture control in a computer tomograph. During a CT scan in a CT scanner, the X-ray source inside the ring tunnel rotates around the patient several times per second. As a result of the high accelerations, enormous forces act on the X-ray source and thus also on the diaphragm. The correct adjustment of this X-ray diaphragm is carried out with the aid of a diaphragm regulator.

    Special stainless materials, lubricants and packaging can be provided. Steinmeyer can also provide accelerated reliability testing, enhanced quality standards, materials traceability certs and other supportive documentation for regulatory requirements.
