Magnetic fields are all around us and a large range of research and diagnostic equipment is susceptible to magnetic interference caused by changes in the frequencies. Laboratories with electron microscopes or bio medical equipment such as EKG equipment, Ultra Sound scanning systems, and MRI imaging systems all require minimum magnetic interference. Even high precision robotic systems will experience problems with elevated magnetic signatures. These types of machines and other machines existing in the same space as these may require power transmission and motion control. The problem becomes how to design a drive system that will not interfere with the magnetic currents.
Your drive system may incorporate a right angle gearbox or a speed reducer. Torque Transmission is able to produce a low magnetic signature gearbox for your project which utilizes stainless steel materials where possible. While stainless steel is not impermeable to magnetic frequencies, it is very nearly so, and considered a non-magnetic material for almost all applications.
