Technical FAQs
Common questions from engineers and decision makers about the Smöve platform.
Why do medical carts benefit from a 48V power system?
Higher voltage allows the system to deliver the same power with lower current. Lower current reduces electrical losses in wiring and electronic components, improving efficiency and reducing heat generation compared with traditional 12V systems.
How does the hot-swappable battery system work?
The battery system supports hot-swappable operation, allowing batteries to be replaced without shutting down connected devices. The cart can also be charged directly from a standard wall outlet when stationary.
Is lightweight always better?
No. A cart should be light, but not flimsy. The best design balances low weight with rigidity, stability, and controlled movement. Smöve focuses on reducing unnecessary mass while maintaining a stable structure, solid keyboard tray, and secure device support during daily medical use.
What battery technology is used in the platform?
The system uses LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries, a chemistry known for long cycle life, improved thermal stability, and reliable performance in applications that require frequent daily charging.
How is stability maintained during height adjustment in a powered lift mechanism?
The lift mechanism uses multi-point column guidance and precision bearing components to maintain vertical stability during movement. This helps reduce flex and ensures mounted devices remain stable during adjustment.
