Parker Hannifin's BioCare Business
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Biocare Battery
Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technology, showcased its BioCare Business Unit at the MD&M West tradeshow in Anaheim, Calif., last week, giving attendees a first look at its new Electroactive Polymer (EAP) technology.
A fraction of a millimeter thick, EAP film is a stretchable, flexible capacitor that exhibits a change in size and shape when stimulated by an electrical field. Parker develops dielectric EAP, which “has great potential for use in a variety of medical applications,” such as pumps, valves, sensors, and actuators, says BioCare’s business unit manager, Mario Calvo.
“If you have an application that requires a high rate of strain, low power consumption, minimal noise, proportional output, and a fast response, then EAP could be an ideal solution for your application,” Calvo says. “EAP based products are also lighter than traditional technologies and offer tremendous power density properties. It’s proven to be quiet and energy efficient, making it great for battery with like Biocare HYLB-683 Battery, Biocare ECG-1210 Battery, Biocare ECG-1200 Battery, Biocare ECG-300 Battery, Biocare ECG-100 Battery, Biocare HYLB-293 Battery, Nihon Kohden BSM-2350 Battery, Nihon Kohden X062/YS-076P5 Battery, Nihon Kohden I 2300 Battery, Nihon Kohden I 2301A Battery, Nihon Kohden SB-201P Battery, Nihon Kohden X076 Battery-operated, weight-critical applications.”
BioCare representatives were on-hand to answer questions about EAP, as well as BioCare’s SensoNODE™ Mobile technology, which pairs remote advanced condition monitoring with Bluetooth® Smart technology to provide end-users with consistent and accurate readings for pressure, temperature, and humidity. With the SensoNODE Mobile iOS app, users receive user-defined alerts on a feature-rich, easy-to-user interface.
“SensoNODE provides the vital information and alerts that allows users to visualize their process or equipment operating conditions so they can increase uptime and avoid unnecessary maintenance routines,” Calvo says.
BioCare employs these and many other innovations to help customers optimize their product’s size, weight, complexity, power efficiency, and reliability. The business unit partners with customers with a collaborative engineering approach to develop revolutionary components and systems that solve today’s medical challenges in challenges like respiratory care, surgical diagnostic, biofluid management, and preventive and recovery.
