  • Publication number: 20230249302
    Abstract: A motor spindle including a sleeve-shaped stator, which has a first coupling receptacle and a second coupling receptacle, further including a rotor, which has a first coupling part with axial fixed bearing and a second coupling part with axial loose bearing, which are to be mounted to the respective coupling receptacle, the axial loose bearing comprising an inner ring mounted to the rotor shaft and an outer ring arranged coaxially with the inner ring and mounted to the second coupling part, wherein the second coupling part is received on the rotor shaft so as to be axially movable parallel to the rotor axis between a first functional position and a second functional position along an adjustment path and wherein for the entire adjustment path there is a first distance between a first axial surface of the inner ring and the second coupling part and there is a second distance between a second axial surface of the inner ring and the second coupling part.

  • Publication number: 20220071639
    Abstract: A power supply unit for a surgical instrument operated by an electric motor includes a battery-receiving housing separate and spaced apart from the surgical instrument. A fastening means or retainer fastens or retains the power supply unit to a body part of an operator. At least one power supply unit supplies power to at least one motor system. A control and monitoring device performs and/or monitors at least one function. A cable connection connects a cable for electrically coupling the power supply unit to a surgical instrument for operating the motor system thereof and/or for transmitting data and/or operating parameters.

  • Patent number: 10590996
    Abstract: A medical handle for pneumatically or hydraulically driven medical instruments or motor units includes a clutch member for mechanical and pneumatic/hydraulic coupling of a corresponding clutch member and a manually operable valve mechanism for selective pressurization of a medical instrument coupled thereto or the motor unit thereof, the valve mechanism being provided with a safety device for preventing pressurization in the case of an uncoupled medical instrument or the motor unit thereof. The clutch member present on the side of the handle is provided to interact with the valve mechanism such that during or by the mechanical coupling operation the latter is automatically opened and/or enabled for manual opening, whereas in the uncoupled state the valve mechanism is closed and/or enabling is cancelled.

  • Patent number: 8328814
    Abstract: A surgical guiding instrument for a surgical machining tool has a substantially elongated instrument body having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a longitudinal axis. The instrument body carries a guiding device for the machining tool that can be used in minimally invasive surgery. The guiding device is arranged and constructed so as to enable the machining tool to be positively guided by it along a path of movement defined by the guiding device. The path of movement corresponds to a superimposed translational-pivotal movement.
