When I first walked into the factory of MediPlus Tech Solutions back in 2020, I didn’t expect the journey we were about to take. They were one of the leading manufacturers of hospital beds and patient Medical equipment in South India. But they had one big problem — reliability.
“We keep getting complaints from hospitals about our beds jamming or not adjusting properly,” said Mr. Ravi, the head of R&D. “We use hydraulic systems, but they leak, and maintenance is killing us.”
That’s when we introduced them to electric linear actuators.
The Initial Skepticism
“Electric? Will it have enough power?”
“What about noise?”
“Is it safe around patients?”
These were the first questions thrown at us. It was understandable — in the medical field, patient comfort, precision, and safety are everything. But we were confident.
We gave them a demo of IP-rated, compact, low-noise actuators specially designed for medical-grade applications. We showed them how these actuators:
- Could lift up to 6000N quietly and smoothly
- Were sealed for hygiene and water resistance (IP66)
- Had programmable control for fine-tuned positioning
- Consumed less energy and needed zero maintenance
The First Trial
We retrofitted one of their ICU beds with our actuator setup. The change was immediate. Nurses could control bed angles effortlessly using a handset. The transition from lying to sitting position became smoother for the patients. No oil leaks. No jerks. Just clean, silent motion.
Real Impact in the Real World
Within 3 months, MediPlus rolled out electric actuators across their premium bed range. One hospital in Chennai even reported a 40% reduction in service calls. Another buyer in Kerala told us, “Our elderly patients feel safer now. The movement is so smooth that it feels human.”
We later expanded into wheelchairs, dental chairs, and patient lifts, all powered by our electric actuators.
Why Electric Actuation Works Best for Medical Equipment
- Hygienic – No fluids, no leaks
- Silent – Peaceful for patients
- Accurate – Fine control over every mm of movement
- Safe – Anti-pinch design and overload protection
- Flexible – Easy integration with control systems, even wireless
The Journey Continues
Today, MediPlus is one of our most successful partners. They’ve not only improved their product quality but also increased their exports thanks to the EU-compliant actuator systems.
And as for us? We’re proud. Because we’re not just selling actuators — we’re part of something bigger. Something that touches lives every day.
