It consists of polymer material (igumid SK) developed specifically for this. The simple reclosable mechanism enables easy maintenance and inspection of the installed cables. Operating temperature +10°C / +50°C. e-skin ® hasmany advantages over conventional corrugated tubes and it is available in 3 di ff erent versions: ● e-skin ® SK for longer unsupported lengths ● e-skin ® soft SKS with more elastic material and lower installation height ● e-skin ® hybridSKYcombines theadvantages of e-skin ® SK and e-skin ® soft SKF ● 15% higher fill weight (based on the latest test results for e-skin ® SK40 series done in the igus ® laboratory) ● 50% more unsupported length (based on the latest test results for the e-skin ® SK40 series done in the igus ® laboratory) ● Bend radii from 55mm up to 100mm ● IPA cleanroom Class 1 ● 5dB(A) quieter than usual "clean cable" ● Interior separation system consisting of "tribo-optimised" iglidur material - to further minimise abrasion between the cables Typical industries and applications ● Cleanroom ● Fast, short, unsupported applications ● Hanging and standing applications ● Display and semiconductor production ● Pick & place applications ● Printers ● Medical technology ● All machines that use corrugated tubes Attachment from any side: KMA mounting brackets with strain relief IPA cleanroom Class 1 : virtually no wear or abrasion Reclosable opening mechanism: easy opening and closing with "zipper" function Fully enclosed: protection against dust and water ingress Space-saving: less installation space required Cable-friendly: with defined minimum bend radius Strong: prevents unintentional sideways movement Two-piece corrugated tube: upper and lower shell 3 versions available: e-skin ® SK, SKS and SKY
