Are triflex R e-chains cleanroom compatible?

You are here:

triflex R e-chains can also be used in cleanroom applications. The used material igumid NB is used in other e-chains designs, which are certified with the ISO class 1 by the IPA Fraunhofer Institute. However, the application is decisive in 3-axis e-chains in robotic applications – in these applications, the energy supply often come into contact with the robot arm, causing abrasions from the resulting relative movements in the application. Although this can be reduced by the use of tribo-optimised materials and material combinations, it cannot be prevented 100% .
