Abrasion-resistance is the decisive parameter for energy chain applications in cleanrooms. The C6 range of energy chains is setting standards here. The abrasion is barely measurable. This is the best outcome: no abrasion can be measured when the new C6 cleanroom energy chain is used, even under high loads. Further advantages are extremely quiet operation and easy installation.Typical application areas: Electrical manufacturing, semiconductor industry, FPD production, microelectronics, panel robots, packaging, plotters, medical technology
*Measured and averaged on five different friction partners:
| Part No. | Inner height | Outer height | Inner width | Outer width | Bend radius | Pitch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C6.53.172J.075.3 | 53mm | 67mm | 172mm | 199mm | 075mm | 30mm |

Continuous cleanroom tests were performed in the IPA-certified igus cleanroom laboratory during the development process to find a solution that will meet the increasing cleanroom requirements.
Various sliding surfaces are tested and evaluated for abrasion.
