Starting from high level requirements and considerations for a therapy facility more specific requirements for the accelerator will be deduced. The Varian ProBeam cyclotron is shown as an example of a medical accelerator and a statistical overview on other accelerators in us is given. The focus is strictly on industrially available equipment. As hadron facilities are extremely complex systems, in the confined space of this paper some simplifications are unavoidable.
