Cleanroom e-chains® | e-skin® Soft

With softer material, small installation height <200mm

Benefits

  • Compact, modular design
  • Flexible filling
  • Reclosable opening mechanism: easy filling with "zipper" function
  • Especially suitable for cleanrooms
  • Can be shortened as necessary
  • KMA mounting bracket, optionally with strain relief
  • Mounting brackets to be sealed tightly by means of PU block
  • Quiet 32dBA

Typical application areas: cleanroom applications with compact installation spaces, short travels, semi-conductor production, LCD/LED panel production

Technical details

1.  Mounting brackets: structurally stable, with integrated strain relief
2.  Small installation space: small bend radii 
3.  Unsupported application due to stop-dogs on the upper shell of the e-skin®
4.  Cleanroom ISO Class 1: virtually no wear or abrasion
5.  Cable-friendly: defined minimum bend radius
6.  Easy assembly: upper and lower shell can be opened for easy filling

Corrugated hoses have the same bend radius along their entire length

N15_01_33_e_skin_Reinraum_02_03.jpg
N15_01_33_e_skin_Reinraum_02_03.jpg

The e-skin® consists of two shells (upper/lower shell). The shells can be configured in order to define the nature of the movement involved

The interior of corrugated tubes cannot be divided into sections

e-skin® can be fitted with interior separation system

Continuous test

Developed for cleanroom applications, the e-skin® SK has been tested under real conditions with 6.4 million double strokes at 3m/s in the laboratory.

Bending test
Bending test

Bending test

The standard bending tests show how flexible the e-skin® soft is. It only bends, even under loads that would break other energy chains.

Noise level measurement
Noise level measurement

Noise level measurement

This test shows how quiet 'e-skin' corrugated tubes and 'e-skin® flat' cleanroom cables are. Compared to flat ribbon cables of competitors, the noise level of the e-skin® flat is only 29dB(A).
