Electro-actuated brake
The brake prevents the motor and its driving mechanicism to spin when the motor is de-energized.
Potentiometer
Potentiometers consist of a resistive element, a sliding contact (wiper) that moves along the element, making good electrical contact with variable resistance.
Potentiometers are used extensively as position sensor in many equpiment, such as patient table, LINAC gantry.Their accuracy and reliability is important to equpiment quality.
Multiple potentiometers are usually combined together to cross-checked each other, so that the system knows which one had met its end-of-life.
