Safe and comfortable
For applications in medical technology, vibration-reducing systems are needed above all when vibrations have a negative impact on patients. A typical example is targeted reduction of vibrations of gurneys in ambulances. The semi-active and energy-efficient attenuators work well with battery power, and can therefore be used in prostheses.
Electrorheological fluids (ERF) change their flow characteristics and therefore resistance in the attenuation systems developed by FLUDICON.

The above examples share a common goal: to isolate environmental vibrations in the best possible way. In this context, one can speak of so-called receiver insulation. Due to the outstandingly rapid response capability of a smart PID system, one can decouple vibrations over a wide frequency range.
Further applications of FLUDICON's technology are in the area of rehabilitation (rehab). This includes all the “weightlifting” and regeneration training devices required for recovery after a fracture. Even in the gym, smart PID systems can be used: for example, to introduce innovative training equipment to the market.
Applications Medical equipment
The semi-active attenuation of gurneys in rescue vehicles is not only set automatically according to the patient's weight, but also compensates jolts during driving
