igus® for clean-rooms - suitability of E6-1 e-chains®
The already low abrasion of the e-chain® is yet again
significantly reduced by employing a special material. In many applications where cumbersome special solutions are used, a simple standard e-chain® can be used instead. An extensive test program has been completed for both gliding and unsupported applications. For many applications, the e-chain® made of special material can be operated practically free of abrasion. IPA testing has confirmed that standard e-chains® by igus® meet clean-room requirements, and have been rated as ”tested and rated as very good“. Clean-rooms call for a very high wear-resistance of moving parts - e-chains® (for example) must therefore be highly wear-resistant in order to meet the standard specifications for this sensitive environment.
