FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

How do I choose between SABclean SD 776, SABclean SD 780 C, and SABclean SD 787 C TP?
All three share the same ISO 14644-1 Class 1 low-outgassing TPE/PUR materials for linear cleanroom energy chains: choose SD 776 (unscreened, 5 × OD bend radius) for 24 V DC solenoid valves, digital I/O, and auxiliary power; choose SD 780 C (overall tinned copper braid, 7.5 × OD) when EMC shielding is needed around multi-core control or compact servo leads; and choose SD 787 C TP (twisted pairs + overall tinned copper braid, 7.5 × OD) for differential RS-422/RS-485 buses, linear scales, and analogue sensor bridges.
Why is low outgassing (ISO 14644-8) just as critical as low particle emission (ISO 14644-1) in semiconductor fabs?
Even if a cable sheds zero solid dust particles, conventional PVC or standard PUR cables release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phthalates, and siloxanes (airborne molecular contamination, AMC) that condense onto EUV/DUV lithography mirrors and exposed silicon wafers. The SABclean SD series uses catalyst-pure, plasticiser-free TPE and polyether PUR verified for minimal outgassing.
Why does SABclean SD 776 achieve a 5 × OD dynamic bend radius while SD 780 C and SD 787 C TP specify 7.5 × OD?
Without a metallic copper braid, SD 776 relies solely on superfine Class 6 copper conductors and elastic TPE insulation, allowing it to flex around ultra-compact 5 × OD carrier radii inside wafer-stage actuators. Adding the ≥ 85 % tinned copper braid on SD 780 C and SD 787 C TP requires a 7.5 × OD minimum bend radius so the braid wires do not over-stretch over 10 million cycles.
Can the SABclean SD series be installed inside e-chain® pods or PTFE-lined cleanroom ribbon tubes?
Yes. The matte, low-tack cleanroom PUR surface has a very low coefficient of friction against PTFE, UHMW-PE, and enclosed cleanroom cable-carrier pods, preventing stick-slip vibration on nanometer-precision wafer stages.
