This system causes a scalpel to vibrate thereby increasing the effective cutting force.
It consists of 2 co-ordinated components: the actual cutting drive and the controlling electronics.

The cutting drive is air-cooled. If it gets over-heated, it is automatically switched off and after having sufficiently cooled down, is switched back on.

The electronics activate the cutting drive using alternating voltage, the frequency of which always corresponds to the resonance frequency of the cutting drive. At the same time, the electronics monitor the inner temperature of the drive.

Cutting drive:
Mechanical stroke	max. 50 ... 56 µm
Compressed air connection	2 bar, quick-release coupling for tube Ø6 mm
Temperature limitation	70 °C (inner temperature)
Resonance/operating frequency	23.9 kHz
Controlling electronics
Mains voltage	200 ... 240 VAC
Mains frequency	47 ... 63 Hz
Max. power input	80 VA
Mains fuse	2 x TO, 63 A(H)
Temperature limitation	automatic turning off of cutting drive
	at >=70 °C
	automatic turning on of cutting drive
	at <70 °C
Operating frequency	23.9 kHz
