Mechanical actuator with non-magnetic parts
The Rigibelt is a mechanical actuator with purely non-magnetic parts. It works by combining two parts of the plastic chain, similar to a zipper, which forms a rigid column. The plastic and rubber composition allows the Rigibelt to be used in medical applications such as MRI machines, or any situation where metal materials cannot be used.
The SERAPID RigiBelt is a non-magnetic mechanical actuator made of plastic and rubber materials. This purely mechanical actuator utilizes push chains, combining two sub-chains of form-fitting elements resembling the rows of teeth on a zipper. This innovative design creates a solid drive block that can be conveniently wound up and stored in a compact manner when in the passive state.
All materials used in the RigiBelt are non-magnetic, ensuring compatibility in various environments. The toothed elements are constructed from durable hard plastic, while the belts are made of flexible plastic. The drive mechanism incorporates stainless steel or anodized aluminum components.
