RK DuoLine Clean linear actuator for cleanroom applications

Linear actuators for use in cleanrooms –

RK DuoLine Clean

RK DuoLine Clean linear actuator
Tested to EN ISO 14644-1

RK Rose+Krieger has optimised its RK Duoline profile linear unit for use in cleanrooms and now offers spindle and belt-driven RK Duoline Clean linear units, with or without vacuum suction, in the popular sizes 60 and 80. A total of eight different versions passed EN ISO 14644-1 testing to be awarded cleanroom certification in the global classifications 1 (RK Duoline Clean 60 SU with 0.5 m/s vacuum suction) to 5 (RK Duoline Clean 80 Z without 0.5 m/s vacuum suction). All the requisite cleanroom suitability tests were conducted at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in Stuttgart.

  • Key features RK DuoLine Clean:
  • „„All external steel parts nickel-plated or made of stainless steel
  • Suitability according to EN ISO 14644 -1 for clean rooms
  • „„Optionally with or without vacuum suction
  • „„High efficiency
  • „„Low no-load torque
  • „„Central lubricating Access

Cleanroom axis design to the sizes 60 and 80

Cleanroom production is an essential aspect of the manufacturing process for industries such as the semi-conductor industry, photovoltaics, microelectronics, aerospace technology, not to mention the automotive industry. Naturally the requisite cleanroom classifications vary as a result.

Since cleanroom production rarely involves moving heavy loads, RK Rose+Krieger has dedicated its cleanroom axis design to the sizes 60 and 80. The result is a total of eight different linear units, each tested at three different speeds:

• RK Duoline 60 S – RK Duoline 80 S

• RK Duoline 60 SU – RK Duoline 80 SU

• RK Duoline 60 Z – RK Duoline 80 Z

• RK Duoline 60 ZU – RK Duoline 80 ZU

Duoline Clean linear units are available with either a spindle or polyurethane toothed-belt drive. In general all Duoline Clean units feature a stainless steel cover strip. Moreover, every cleanroom axis can be fitted with vacuum suction, which reduces particle emissions still further.
