Whether in handling applications or in laboratory equipment, where there is movement, energy chains are widely used to protect and guide cables and hoses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the medical industry, however, higher demands are placed on the components, which must all run very smoothly and quietly, be cleanroom-compatible, media-resistant and corrosion-free and of hygienic design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this VIDEO<\/a><\/strong>, igus<\/a><\/strong> introduces a selection of the energy chains and cables, iglidur plain bearings and drylin delta robots developed specifically for medical technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The e-skin energy chain system provides cleanroom equipment with data, power and media without unwanted particles contaminating the air, as proven by the Fraunhofer Institute IPA.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the medical industry, however, higher demands are placed on the components<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All three e-skin energy chain types, with and without cables, have ISO Class 1 certification, which is the \u2018cleanest\u2019 classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CFROBOT8.PLUS bus cable is constructed specifically for high torsion applications, including robots and equipment with 3D movements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting clean, medical applications, its PUR outer jacket is abrasion- and microbe-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The E2.1 energy chain series offers extremely fast filling from the side or from the top – along on the inner or outer radius, using a chain opening tool or screwdriver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to these features, its compact size and quiet operation, the E2.1 is ideal for use in medical equipment, such as scanners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For rotating applications, the compact iglidur PRT-04 slewing ring features an aluminium housing for easy cleaning, and sliding elements made from iglidur J.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iglidur J material has a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and very low stick-slip effect for smooth movements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
