Portescap’s B16C Gearbox: A Compact Spur Gearing Solution for Enhanced Infusion Pump Design

The B16C gearbox excels in applications where space and weight are critical, such as ambulatory infusion pumps. Its compact form factor allows for a smaller overall pump size or the incorporation of additional design features. The integrated design reduces the number of internal components, resulting in fewer points of contact and lower output noise. This reduction in noise is crucial for infusion pumps used in home environments or quiet procedure rooms, enhancing patient comfort during drug delivery. With gear ratios available up to 27:1, the B16C offers a wide range of speed and torque outputs when combined with the 16DCT coil options, providing engineers with the flexibility to meet diverse application requirements.

The B16C can be mechanically customized to suit specific needs, from shaft modifications to housing changes, and special lubricants are available to accommodate unique application demands. Portescap invites engineers and designers to explore the capabilities of the new B16C gearbox and see how it can enhance their next-generation infusion pump designs.
