Motion Control for Medical Devices
Transforming Therapy Devices with Highly Integrated Motion Control
Whether it’s at home, the intensive care unit, or a nursing home, patients deserve the best medical care technology has to offer. Embedded motion control is the key to reliable and streamlined medical devices and instruments that can help offload healthcare systems from increasing pressures such as the aging society, limited workforce, and rising costs.
ADI Trinamic™ technologies enable health engineers to push the envelope on motion-controlled medical applications by allowing for smaller designs with lower overhead cost, vibration-free movement, and powerful yet energy-efficient drives. Whether it’s peristaltic pumps, respirators and ventilators, infusion pumps, radiography, or optometry, ADI’s industry-leading Trinamic solutions take care of perfect motion control that’s reliable and retraceable, so you don’t have to. Let’s raise the quality of healthcare together with the world’s most advanced motor and motion control.
Flawless Motion Control Keeping Your Medical Samples Safe
Cool
Drive motors the energy-efficient way. Trinamic products automatically reduce current to the minimum needed, keeping the motor cool.
Vibration-Free
Remove vibrations and noise with flawless motion control. Current loops close to a perfect sine wave allow smooth and precise positioning.
Battery-Powered
Battery-powered ICs and miniaturized modules save precious energy and space, allowing you to design portable medical devices that last.
Peristaltic Pumps
Maintaining cell structure and protein folding is critical for peristaltic pumps used in medical applications. Whether it’s for dialysis, dosing medication, or sanitary pumps, ADI Trinamic solutions protect material integrity with perfect flow control. By providing silent, vibration-free motion control, the StealthChop™ technology safeguards valuable liquids from undesired shear rates. Pair with other ADI Trinamic solutions, such as StallGuard™ technology for detecting step loss and CoolStep™ technology for energy-efficient operation and motor cooling, to achieve perfect control of your pump.
Syringe Infusion Pumps
When it comes to delivering fluids like nutrients and medication to patients, every drop counts. That’s why infusion pumps need to precisely control flow rate—independent of fluid friction and without losing track of the dosage. ADI Trinamic StallGuard technology is specifically designed for syringe pumps to support reliable and repeatable homing without the need for limit switches. Allowing for smaller designs that are silent and energy-efficient, these plug-and-play solutions give complete control over dosage devices for the highest reliability and traceability.
Medical Ventilators and CPAP Devices
Medical ventilators have come a long way since the iron lung. Ranging from controlled mechanical ventilation to CPAP, ventilators for healthcare and medical use are vital in saving lives. ADI Trinamic driver ICs and board-level solutions for 3-phase BLDC motors enable health engineers to easily design low inductance, high speed drives without having to worry about the motor’s current ripple. Together with integrated high resolution feedback system and field-oriented control, ADI Trinamic technology offers industry-leading control for powerful and energy-efficient drives.
Ophthalmic Devices
Eye care requires the highest accuracy to prevent false outcomes. To ensure a correct diagnosis in the shortest time possible, ophthalmic devices require state-of-the-art motor and motion control to position the patient and control the laser. ADI Trinamic solutions bring industrial-grade technology to medical and consumer optometry, with decades of motor and motion control experience embodied in plug-and-play solutions. Save precious resources and optimize product development with silent, reliable, high precision, and energy-efficient solutions.
ADI Trinamic Open-Source Ventilator
The global outbreak of COVID-19 pushed healthcare systems around the world to their limits and challenged medical companies to produce much-needed medical equipment faster and in greater quantities than ever before. Besides supporting a variety of ventilator projects, ADI Trinamic engineers have developed an open-source ventilator platform to inspire engineers and medical companies with other ways to design a medical ventilator. Named TOSV (ADI Trinamic Open-Source Ventilator), the platform uses the TMC4671 combined with the TMC6100 stacked on a Raspberry Pi for interfacing.
Custom Modules
Whether your product has one or 30 motors, it deserves industry-leading motor control. Save precious resources and optimize product development with custom motor and motion control solutions that leverage ADI Trinamic technologies.

Microstepping
Microstepping allows for higher precision and is key to effective laboratory automation no matter how small the scale. The higher the microstep resolution, the smoother the motor—greatly reducing noise and vibration.
Ramp Generation
When the value is measured in microliters, even the slightest movements carry very real risks. ADI Trinamic advanced motion controllers support s-shaped acceleration ramps for extremely smooth motion so you’ll never spill a drop.
