A new actuation system has been designed for safe and reliable power-driven adjustment and positioning of beds in hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation and home-care settings. System components for the SKF MediMove are modular in design for customization as required in a specific application.

They can be integrated easily into standard and platform beds for precise, safe and secure movement, positioning and control. Once installed and in service, the system is said to be quiet and maintenance free.
