Low-particle couplings and screws in stainless steel, titanium and aluminium, ultrasonically cleaned and cleanroom-packaged for semiconductor, pharma and medical production.
Overview
In cleanroom production, materials with low-to-zero particle generation are essential. Preferred materials are stainless steel, titanium and aluminium; black-oxide coatings are not allowed because they can shed particles. NBK cleanroom couplings and screws are ultrasonically or IPA-cleaned in a cleanroom and then packaged, so they arrive ready to install without adding contamination.
These components are ideal for semiconductor equipment, pharmaceutical machinery and medical and life-science devices, as well as food machinery. NBK offers a dedicated cleanroom washing and packaging service (wash room ISO Class 7, packing ISO Class 4) with ultrasonic or IPA methods and post-cleaning particle measurement. Full specifications and CAD files are on nbk1560.com.
Cleanroom washing & packaging service (PDF)Stainless, titanium and aluminium. No particle-shedding black oxide.
Ultrasonic or IPA cleaning in a cleanroom, then sealed packaging.
Wash room ISO Class 7, packing ISO Class 4, with particle measurement.
One-piece slit couplings for cleanroom, vacuum and heat-resistant use: zero backlash, low particle generation and excellent chemical and corrosion resistance.
Heat-resistant, chemical-proof Oldham couplings with PEEK or VESPEL spacers for cleanroom and vacuum use: high misalignment tolerance and electrical insulation.
Vented (drilled) socket-head cap screws that release trapped air and gases during pump-down to prevent virtual leaks in vacuum and cleanroom systems.
Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium socket-head cap and machine screws: lightweight, non-magnetic and chemically resistant for medical, aerospace and semiconductor use.
Low-permeability fasteners in titanium, SUS316L HiMo, tantalum, phosphor bronze and brass for MRI, cryogenic, semiconductor and precision magnetic instruments.
Fasteners for service far beyond 200 °C: SUS316L, molybdenum, ceramic, Vespel, Hastelloy and Inconel screws for furnaces, plasma and high-temperature process equipment.
Parts are cleaned and packed in a cleanroom (wash room ISO Class 7, packing ISO Class 4) using either ultrasonic cleaning (suffix USC) or IPA cleaning (suffix IPA), followed by particle measurement. It is used for FPD, semiconductor, medical and food components.
Black-oxide coatings can shed particles, which contaminate a cleanroom. NBK therefore supplies cleanroom parts in stainless steel, titanium and aluminium, cleaned and packaged to avoid adding particles.
