igus® ApS
DK(DA)
The already low abrasion of the e-chain® is yet again significantly reduced by the application of 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. The IPA tests confirm that the standard e-chain® from igus® is sufficient for clean room requirements. "Tested and certified as very good!" e-chains® for clean room applications on the test stand Clean room environments demand very high wear resistance of moving parts. Thus for instance, e-chains® must be extremely wear resistant in order to fulfill the standard requirements of this sensitive environment. The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation (IPA) has tested the igus® E6 and E14 Series in the following way:
