Energy chain / drag chain
Class 6 stranding, TPE cores, and matte TPE/PUR jacket achieve ultra-low particle abrasion in cleanroom energy chains.
Product
SABclean S 776 (unscreened) and S 780 C (screened) continuous-flex cleanroom control cable (300/500 V, -40 to +80 °C) for ISO 14644-1 Class 1 cleanrooms, featuring IEC 60228 Class 6 copper cores, TPE insulation, and a low-outgassing matte TPE/PUR jacket.
Typical values for this cable type, based on ISO 14644-1 Air Cleanliness Class 1 / DIN VDE 0250 Cleanroom Drag-Chain Specification — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Select SABclean S 776 (unscreened) or S 780 C (EMC screened) for multi-million-cycle linear stages, wafer handling robots, EUV/DUV lithography auxiliaries, and medical device cleanrooms.
Class 6 stranding, TPE cores, and matte TPE/PUR jacket achieve ultra-low particle abrasion in cleanroom energy chains.
100 % talc-, chalk-, and silicone-free (LABS-free) build prevents outgassing (AMC) and powder release when stripping.
Choose SABclean S 780 C (≥ 85 % tinned copper braid screen over extruded inner sheath) for servo encoders, linear motors, and vision stages.
Rated to +80 °C; for +180 °C cleanroom bake plates or ESD-dissipative (10⁴–10⁷ Ω) jackets, choose Besilen ESD Control Cable.
Use Besilen ESD for +180 °C & ESD dissipationConstruction
SABclean S 776 / S 780 C construction: IEC 60228 Class 6 super-fine bare copper conductors, low-capacitance TPE core insulation, non-shedding fleece wrap (plus inner sheath + tinned copper braid on S 780 C), and low-outgassing matte TPE/PUR outer sheath.
| # | Layer | Material & reference |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Super-fine Class 6 copper | Extra-fine-stranded bare copper wire per IEC 60228 / DIN VDE 0295 Class 6Built for tight 5 × OD to 7.5 × OD bending radii in compact cleanroom linear stages |
| 2 | Low-outgassing TPE core wall | Special halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (DIN 47100 ≤ 0.34 mm² or black numbered + GNYE ≥ 0.5 mm²)Thin, tough core wall minimises cable diameter and bending stiffness |
| 3 | Talc-free fleece / inner sheath | S 776: non-shedding fleece wrap | S 780 C: halogen-free inner sheath beneath screenEliminates internal separating powders so cable stripping never contaminates the cleanroom |
| 4 | Tinned copper braid (S 780 C only) | S 780 C version: low-angle braided tinned copper wires (≥ 85 % optical coverage)High-flex EMC shielding for cleanroom servo drives and precision encoders |
| 5 | Low-outgassing matte TPE/PUR jacket | Special low-abrasion, non-adhesive matte thermoplastic elastomer / PUR compound (grey or black)Prevents stick-slip particle generation against PTFE/PE cleanroom cable pods |
Unscreened ISO Class 1 low-outgassing cleanroom drag-chain control and sensor cable
Tinned-copper-braid screened ('C') ISO Class 1 low-outgassing cleanroom drag-chain cable
