Products intended for clean room environments must be built to minimize particulates that could be harmful to the applications common to these environments. If you would like a gearhead designed for clean room environments you can request a "C01" modification on the standard model. For example, if you would like the PS90-010-S2, you can request a quote for the PS90-010-C01S2. This customization includes the follow modifications:
- Use Krytox 240 grease in place of the standard oil
- Remove all labels and laser or mechanically etch only
- Stainless hardware
Although our gearheads that are designed for clean room environments are not specifically clean room rated, they follow best engineering practices and have successfully been used in Class 100 environments. Note that our gearheads require Loctite to retain fasteners, and Loctite is a chemical known to have higher outgassing rates.
