FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What makes SABclean RT 793 D suitable for ISO 14644-1 Class 1 semiconductor cleanrooms?
Standard robot cables shed microscopic polymer dust and outgas plasticisers or talc when twisted millions of times. SABclean RT 793 D eliminates talc completely, encapsulates the helical tinned copper D-shield between dual non-shedding PTFE fluoropolymer wraps, and uses an ultra-low-outgassing, low-friction matte polyurethane jacket verified to emit fewer than 10 particles (≥ 0.1 µm) per cubic metre under dynamic torsion.
What does the 'D' in SABclean RT 793 D stand for?
In German cable nomenclature, 'D' (D-Schirm / Umlegung) designates a helically wrapped spiral copper wire shield rather than a cross-woven braid ('C'). Under ±180°/m to ±360°/m robot wrist rotation, a helical D-shield winds and unwinds smoothly without wire-on-wire fretting, providing ≥ 85 % EMC screening while preventing metallic wear particles.
Is SABclean RT 793 D resistant to pharmaceutical and cleanroom sterilisation agents?
Yes. The special polyether PUR jacket resists repeated wipe-downs with 70 % isopropyl alcohol (IPA), deionized water, quaternary ammonium disinfectants, and vaporised hydrogen peroxide (VHP / H2O2) bio-decontamination cycles.
When should I choose SABclean RT 793 D vs SABclean SD 776 / SD 780 C / SD 787 C TP?
Choose SABclean RT 793 D for multi-axis 3D rotary robot arms (SCARA and 6-axis articulated wafer/pharma robots) requiring ±180°/m to ±360°/m axial torsion. Choose the SABclean SD 776 / SD 780 C / SD 787 C TP series for 2D planar linear drag chains, wafer stages, and gantry shuttles.
