Medical device engineers have been learning more lately about Mirmex Motor, a boutique motor company in Belgium that specializes in tailoring micromotors for implantable medical devices. Using advanced flex PCB winding technology, the small motors can be radial or axial flux design and configured to a variety of formats and power capabilities.
This year the company has been showing its innovative technology and motor samples at medical device events in Europe and North America including: MD&M in Anaheim, California; at EPHJ 2025 in Geneva, a trade show for high precision and microtechnology; and at AIMD Day in Besancon, France, an event focused on implantable medical device technologies which brings together manufacturers of actuatable devices such as pacemakers, neurostimulators, implantable hearing aids, retinal implants, cardiac assistance devices and drug delivery devices.
They are certified to ISO 13485, very important for medical applications. Flexible software tools help Mirmex engineers co-develop with their customers and iterate quickly for characteristics such as optimizing torque, minimizing heat generation or achieving ultra-compact designs whether they are developing a robot servo, a micro generator, or a small electric motor for a collaborative robot. The motors have zero cogging, and are scalable for small motors and micro-actuators.
