Product description

Allura Xper FD OR Table, Ceiling version only; 722035; imaging applications.

Reason for recall

Normally, movement of the C-arc is initially stopped by the motor (holding torque) then by the electromagnetic brake, leading to a full stop of the C-arc. Because of improper adjustment and tolerances, when the C-arc is initially stopped in an unbalanced position, the air gap of the brake can become too large, resulting in continued C-arc movement (C-arc is looking for balanced position).
